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.

£10 - could provide a hand and footprint kit to help create memories.

£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.

5/5

Wednesday 1st Oct
I decided at the start of the year I would run 5 10Ks this year as a personal goal.  After my third at Hampton Court Palace in June which was incredibly hard, we found out I was pregnant! This was why I was bloody exhausted clearly… unfortunately, for the second time, I had a miscarriage. So many women experience this devastating thing that I wanted to do something about it this time, after I recovered physically and mentally from it. So I did my 4/5 run at Kew a few weekends ago and now I’ve decided my last 5/5 run will be in honour of all the babies we have lost. 

Doing this also gives me an opportunity to talk and be open about miscarriage. When talking about miscarriage, it always catches me when other women I know open up about theirs, and I think it’s so important we create a space where we can be open and honest about it. So please reach out and chat if you need, and ask questions if that’s what you want. And if you can support my run in anyway I’d be so grateful. 

Here’s to my first rainbow baby, and hope another follows soon. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
