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.

Wednesday 19th Aug

This year, me and Paige will be taking part in a 5K team event to raise money for SANDS (Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Charity).

We are doing this in support of our friend Gemma, who has recently experienced an unimaginable and heartbreaking loss. No parent should ever have to endure the pain of losing a baby, and while we know we cannot take away that hurt, we want to show our love and support.

By taking on this challenge together, we hope to raise funds for SANDS, a charity that provides vital support to bereaved families and works tirelessly to improve care and break the silence around baby loss.

Every donation, no matter how small, will help make a difference for families facing the most difficult circumstances.

Thank you for supporting us, supporting Gemma, and helping SANDS continue their incredible work.

❤️ In memory of all babies gone too soon. ❤️
