I’m taking part in Sands Ribbon Run

I’ve committed to taking part in Sands Ribbon Run in Manchester which takes place during Baby Loss Awareness Week on Saturday 10 October 2026. I am taking part 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.

My Updates

I did it 🎀🏃🏽‍♀️🤍🪽🥹

Sunday 11th Oct
Yesterday I completed the 5K Ribbon Run at Heaton Park in Manchester for our 3 angel babies and all the other babies who couldn’t stay. Every step taken in love for them! Always Loved, Never Forgotten 🤍🪽🤍🪽🤍🪽

👟🎀🏃🏽‍♀️🤍🪽

Friday 9th Oct
And that’s a wrap on my training! 👟🎀 Tomorrow is the big day… 5K Ribbon Run, here I come! 🏃🏼‍♀️💪🏼 Every step taken with love, for all the babies who couldn’t stay. 🪽🤍

10th October… I’m coming for you!

Monday 5th Oct
It’s been a little while since my last update… and I’ve definitely levelled up! 🏃🏽‍♀️💪🏼 From two 10-minute runs to now running for 28 minutes non-stop and another PB in the bag! 🥹👏🏼 I’m so proud of how far I’ve come with the training — especially knowing what I’m doing it all for. 🪽🤍 Less than a week until the Sands Ribbon Run! 🎀 Every step counts. 🤍

Let’s Double The Target!

Sunday 20th Sep

I can’t quite believe that after just one day of sharing my fundraising page, I’ve already managed to reach my first target of £150 for this worthy cause. 🥹🎀

Thank you so much to everyone who has donated, shared and got behind me — it genuinely means more than you know. 🙏🏼🤍

Every step I take will be in memory of the babies who couldn’t stay, and knowing that we’re helping other families affected by pregnancy and baby loss makes it even more meaningful. 🪽🤍

I’m not stopping here though… let’s see how much more we can raise! 💙🩷

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. 🤍
