I’m taking part in Sands Ribbon Run in memory of Bonnie

I’ve committed to taking part in Sands Ribbon Run which takes place during Baby Loss Awareness Week (9-15 October) for every much-loved baby sadly not here today.

Sands ensure that everyone affected by the loss of a baby gets the support they need and deserve when facing the toughest of times. They campaign for change, provide training for midwives and healthcare professionals, and support research so that fewer babies die and so that less families experience the tragedy of losing their baby. Anything you are able to donate means so much.

I’m dedicating my run to my friend Poppy’s daughter Bonnie.  Poppy was over 20 weeks pregnant but was delivered the devastating news that her baby was seriously ill and would only survive another 4 weeks.  Poppy had to make that terrible decision to give birth in surgery and during which she was also told she too was in a critical way!

Poppy survived this terrible ordeal but Bonnie remains in hers and her family’s heart always.

Bonnie would be three this year and I run with pride in her memory to raise awareness and vital funds for this charity who continue to support others like Poppy in their difficult times.

Thank you.

£10 - could provide a hand and footprint kit to help create memories.
