2026 Ribbon Run Virtual

I’m taking part in Sands Ribbon Run

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.

Thank you.

£20 - could provide a bereaved family with a memory box to help create and keep safe precious and lasting memories of their baby.

£35 - could answer a call from someone reaching out for support who has been through pregnancy loss or the death of a baby.

£100 - could help ensure every hospital in the UK has a dedicated Sands volunteer to help healthcare professionals access our training, guidance and support.

Day 5-11

Sunday 20th Sep
6 days of treadmill runs at home this week due to circumstance but great to be back out for a hilly 12km this morning. Mixture of town, beach and country - so grateful to live where we do. A total of 40km run this week. 62.2km down, 67.8km to go!

Day 4

Sunday 13th Sep
5.5km round the forest with my enthusiastic running buddy! 🐶 This photo gives no justice to the mega incline just climbed!

Days 2 and 3

Sunday 13th Sep
Day 2 was a treadmill 5k. My aim is to run as many of these km outside as possible but the treadmill at home is handy too! Day 3 was an out and back up past the golf course. 7.3km. The sea was calm and despite the weather threatening otherwise, it stayed dry too! 113.3 to go!

Day 1!

Thursday 10th Sep
First run of the 130km from 10.9-10.10. Beautiful calm morning for running up (then down!) a big hill! 5.4km down… 124.6 to go!
