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.

Why I’m Running for Baby Loss Awareness Week 🤍
Thursday 20th AugThis year, I’m taking part in a run for Baby Loss Awareness Week for a reason that is very close to my heart.
Recently, I lost my beautiful baby boy, Psalm. There are no words that can truly describe the heartbreak of losing your baby, or how much you treasure the little things you are given to remember them by.
After losing Psalm, I was given a memory box. Inside were precious keepsakes that I will hold onto forever , little reminders that he was here, that he was loved, and that he will always be a part of our family. 🤍
Something as simple as a memory box may seem small, but during the darkest moments of baby loss, these things can mean so much. They give parents something tangible to hold onto when there are so many memories they wish they could have made.
These memory boxes, along with the support and care offered to families experiencing baby loss, are made possible through the generosity of charities, donations and people who choose to support causes like this.
I know first-hand now just how important that support is.
That’s why I’ve decided to take part in the run not only to raise awareness, but to give something back and hopefully help another family receive the same kindness and support that meant so much to me.
If you would like to support me, any donation, no matter how small, would mean so much. You would be helping provide comfort, memories and support to families going through one of the hardest experiences imaginable.
For Psalm, and for all the babies who are loved, remembered and missed every single day. 🩷
Thank you for helping me keep his memory alive. 🤍
