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 Raising Money for Baby Loss Awareness 🩷

This year, I’m raising money during Baby Loss Awareness Week in memory of our beautiful little girl, Olivia Calland. 👣🕊️

It’s been 6 years since we lost Olivia, but not a single day goes by where she isn’t thought about. Six years may have passed, but the love we have for her has never changed.

Olivia should be here with us today. She should be growing up alongside her little sister, Amelia, and watching her grow. She will always be Amelia’s big sister, and we will always make sure Amelia knows just how special Olivia is. 🩷

We miss you so much, Olivia. There will always be a piece of our family missing because you’re not here with us.

I love my little family more than words can say, but it will never feel completely the same without you. You are always in our hearts, always in our thoughts, and forever part of our family.

That’s why this walk means so much to me. I want to raise as much money and awareness as possible for baby loss, while remembering all the precious babies who were taken too soon.

For our Olivia. For Amelia’s big sister. For every baby who should be here. 🕊️🩷

You may not be in our arms, but you will always be in our hearts and minds.

We love you forever, Olivia.
Mummy, Daddy & your little sister Amelia 👣💕
