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.

Walking for Our Two Angel Babies 💗
Saturday 15th AugMe & Jack will be walking for Our Two Angel Babies 💗
On Friday 9th October, we will be taking on the Hathersage & Stanage Edge Circular in the Peak District to raise awareness and give a voice to parents who have experienced the heartbreak of pregnancy loss.
We are doing this walk in memory of our two beautiful babies who we have lost this year. 💕👼🏼👼🏼
Pregnancy loss can be incredibly lonely. There are so many emotions that come with losing a baby. Grief, sadness, anger, confusion and sometimes a feeling that the world expects you to simply move on. But for those of us who have experienced it, our babies mattered. Their lives mattered. And the love we have for them doesn’t disappear just because we didn’t get to bring them home.
We want to use this challenge to help break the silence around pregnancy loss and remind bereaved parents that they are not alone.
On the day, we will be walking through the beautiful Peak District, carrying the memory of our two babies with us every step of the way. It will be an emotional challenge, but one that means so much to us.
I’m fundraising for Sands because their work helps support families through some of the darkest moments of their lives, while also working to improve bereavement care and raise awareness of pregnancy and baby loss.
I know times are difficult for so many people, so please don’t feel any pressure to donate. Even sharing our fundraising page, talking about pregnancy loss, or simply taking a moment to remember the babies who are no longer here means something.
But if you are able to donate, every single pound will help us get closer to my goal and support the incredible work Sands does for bereaved families.
This walk is for our two babies.
For every parent who has had to leave hospital without their baby.
For every parent whose grief has gone unseen.
For every baby who was loved, even if their life was far too short.
We will carry our babies with us every step of the way. 💗
Thank you for supporting us, listening to our story and helping us give pregnancy loss a voice.
Forever loved. Never forgotten. Always our babies. 👼🏼👼🏼💗
