I’m taking part in Sands Ribbon Run

I’m taking part in Sands Ribbon Run this Baby Loss Awareness Week 9-15 October.

Sands exists to support anyone affected by the death of a baby, before, during or shortly after birth, whenever this happened and for as long as they need support. 

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

£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.

A 5K in Memory of Freddie

Thursday 24th Jul
I am running a 5K in memory of our beautiful son, Freddie. Nothing prepared us for the heartbreak of losing him. Freddie may not have taken a breath in this world, but he changed our lives forever. Now we carry him with us in everything we do, and this run is one small way to honour his memory and help others walking the same path. 
Sands is an amazing charity who work hard to support all those touched by the loss of a baby. In particular for me, the provision of memory boxes in hospital and the local community support since has helped more than I can say.

If you’re able to donate or share this page, it would mean the world to us. Thank you for supporting us and for helping us to remember our wee Freddie.

With love,
Melissa
