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.

Sunday 5th OctHi everyone,
I'm taking part in Ribbon Run to support Sands during this years Baby Loss Awareness Week.
You will all know of my journey to parenthood and the tragic loss of my shining stars Owen & Freya when they were born too soon at 18 weeks & 5 days on 05/11/2017.
Sands helped us through the initial loss by supplying sands bears to us which we were able to share with our rainbow babies Elliot & Lucas as a gift from their siblings.
I haven't maintained my running to its true potential but I will be out their pounding the streets in true dedication to Owen & Freya and all the babies stillborn and miscarried on 11/10/2025 alongside everyone across the country supporting ribbon run.
If you want to show your support a dontation of even £1 will be appreciated, or why not join me somewhere on my 15k route.
