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.

💙 Why I’m Taking Part in the Sands Ribbon Run 💙

This October, during Baby Loss Awareness Week (9–15 October), I’ll be taking part in the Sands Ribbon Run, a cause that now means more to me and my family than I could ever put into words.

I’ll be doing this in loving memory of our beautiful Conrad Peter. 💙🕊️

Conrad was born prematurely and showed incredible strength throughout his seven months of life. He was so deeply loved by all of us, and losing him has left a space in our family that can never be filled.

I wanted to do something positive in his memory — something that keeps his name and memory alive while helping other families who are facing the unimaginable heartbreak of losing a baby.

Sands provides vital support to bereaved parents and families when they need it most. They also work with healthcare professionals and fund research to help save babies’ lives and improve the care families receive.

Every step I take during the Ribbon Run will be for Conrad and for every little life that was loved beyond measure but taken far too soon. 🩷💙

If you are able to sponsor me, any donation, no matter how big or small, would mean the absolute world. If you aren’t able to donate, sharing my fundraising page would mean just as much and could help me reach even more people.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting me, our family, and Sands. 💙

For our beautiful Conrad Peter.
Forever loved. Forever missed. Never forgotten. 👼🕊️💙
