I’m taking part in Sands Ribbon Run

We are taking part in Sands Ribbon Run this Baby Loss Awareness Week 9-15 October.

We are running the Sands Ribbon Run in memory of baby Ruby, a beautiful little girl Laura had the pleasure of caring for her as her midwife. Though her life was heartbreakingly short, she made a lasting impact. Laura and I are running to honour her, to support her family, and to help Sands continue their vital work for families affected by baby loss. 

Being a midwife is one of the loudest, happiest, busiest jobs, but we will never forget the quietest moments. As part of a midwives role, we provide bereavement care to families who have suffered a loss and this is why Sands is such an important charity to support. 

Support us as we take on 10km in support of Sands, helping them to continue to build a world where more babies survive and more families receive the happy ending they deserve.

By sponsoring us, you are helping Sands break the silence around baby loss and to continue to save babies’ lives.

£3 - could provide a Sands birth certificate for a baby whose birth cannot be registered through a register office.

£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.

Thank you so much 🩷
