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) in memory of our Granddaughter Paisley Elizabeth Payne who was born sleeping on 2nd June 2025 and for every much-loved baby sadly not here today.
Watching my daughter go through labour knowing that her baby would not be born alive was one the hardest things I have ever had to do. Sophie, George, myself and the rest of our family were helped through this incredably sad time by a wonderful team of midwives and a bereavement midwife at the Princess Royal Hosptial. We were able to have photos taken by a charity, footprints in clay, a memory box all of these items are paid for with donations from Sands. These items are very special to us and bring us comfort as we will always have memories of Paisley to ensure she is never forotten.
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.
£10 - could provide a hand and footprint kit to help create memories.
£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.
