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.

Baby Angel

Sunday 13th Sep
A little bit of my story as the whole story is quite  a long one! 

Unfortunately Baby Angel was to beautiful for earth. At 3.30 ish on 22nd June 2023 I had baby Angel at there grandparents house and waited over 4hrs for an ambulance then was taken in. Was put into labour twice then rushed for an Emergancy manual removal of the placenta. 2 days later left hospital. I had another visit to hospital with sepsis which nearly killed me and they found my womb had been perforated
In surgery. I had a Haematoma the size of a clutch bag sitting on my bladder for a year.

The thing that gives me peace is that on 22nd June 1990 my family lost my Nan. Which I was named after then to know 33years  later Angel gained their winds. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
