I’m taking part in Sands Ribbon Run
I’m taking part in the Sands Ribbon Run during Baby Loss Awareness Week (9–15 October).
After completing two Couch to 5K runs last week, I figured it was time to sign up for a real 5k - what could possibly go wrong?! 😅
While this may partly be a mid-life crisis, I’m doing it for a truly important cause - one that I’ve had the very sad misfortune of experiencing myself. So I’m putting my new running legs to work to raise money for Sands and to support other women and families who are going through heartbreak.
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.
