I’m taking part in Sands Ribbon Run
On the 22nd July this year i headed to my 20 week scan only to hear them dreaded words, that our baby had no heartbeat and in that moment my world came crashing down. I had a few days at home and then on the 25th July I went in to hospital to be induced and gave birth to a beautiful baby girl who we named Ada Sofia. She weighed a tiny 180g and just 24cm long but she was absolutely perfect. Saying goodbye to her after spending a couple of days with her was the hardest thing I have ever had to do but the support has been amazing and I feel its only right to raise as much awareness as I can around baby loss and also raise some money in the process to help other families. Thankyou 💗
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.
