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 doing this..
Thursday 10th SepI’ve decided to take part in the SANDS 5K to raise money for a cause that means more to me than I can really put into words.
Like so many women, I know the heartbreak of losing a baby. When I suffered my miscarriage, I was already too far into it for my body to pass the pregnancy naturally, and I had to have a D&C. It was honestly one of the worst experiences of my life.
Not long afterwards, I went through an ectopic pregnancy and was told that I may not be able to conceive again. Thankfully, life gave me my two beautiful boys, and I will forever be grateful for them. ❤️
But having children doesn’t erase the babies I lost or the experiences I went through. I still think about them. I still remember the pain. And I know I’m not alone in that.
Over the years, I’ve also watched friends and other women I know go through the heartbreak of losing their babies, and it’s made me realise even more how important it is that we support one another through something that can feel incredibly lonely.
That’s why I’m doing this. 💗
I’m running to remember the babies who never got the chance to enter this world, to honour the mums and families who carry that loss with them, and to help SANDS continue supporting people through the unimaginable pain of baby loss.
If you’re able to donate, even just a little, I would be so incredibly grateful. Every single donation will help make a difference. 🩷
And to every mum who has ever had to say goodbye far too soon, you are not forgotten, and neither are your babies. 🕊️💗
