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 am I doing this?

Tuesday 22nd Sep
So on the 19/08/2024 I had a positive pregnancy test, 4 weeks I was estimated with a due date of 28th April. 

Then on the 07/10/2024 after some bleeding it was confirmed I was having a missed miscarriage and "Bean"s heartbeat had stopped at 8 weeks old, I didn't start bleeding until 10.5weeks. 

I went for a scan to which they told me this, I then had to go back a week later for "confirmation" on what should've been my 12 week scan. That kind of heartbreak isn't for the weak. 

Luckily I now have my rainbow baby who is just a few months off being 1! 🩷🌈
