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.

Maeva🩶

Tuesday 29th Sep
Baby Loss Awareness Week means something very different to me this year.

I’m taking part in the SANDS Ribbon Run because, although I wish I didn’t have a reason to, I am now one of the many women who knows what it feels like to lose a baby.

Losing a baby is difficult to put into words. There is so much that comes with it — the heartbreak, the questions, the what-ifs, the physical experience, and the feeling that the world expects you to carry on when your world has completely changed.

There is also the fact that, to everyone else, your baby may never have been known.

I’m doing the Ribbon Run because I want to remember Maeva.

I want to do something that acknowledges that she existed and that her loss mattered. I want to give a little bit of meaning to something that has otherwise been incredibly painful.

I’m also doing it for the people who have experienced baby loss and perhaps don’t know what to say, what to do, or how to explain how they feel. For the people who have had miscarriages, stillbirths, neonatal deaths, ectopic pregnancies, terminations for medical reasons, or any other form of pregnancy or baby loss.

And for those who are grieving quietly.

Baby loss can be incredibly lonely. Sometimes people don’t know what to say, so they say nothing. Sometimes the people around you move on long before you have had the chance to process what has happened. And sometimes you feel like you shouldn’t still be hurting because it was “early”.

But there is no amount of time that makes a wanted baby matter less.

So I’m running to raise awareness, to remember, and to show my support for everyone who has been affected by baby loss.

I know that running a few miles won’t change what happened. It won’t bring Maeva back. But I can use those miles to carry their memory with me.

If you would like to support me in the Ribbon Run, I would be incredibly grateful. Every donation helps SANDS support families affected by baby loss and work towards ensuring that nobody has to face it alone.
