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.

5k Ribbon Run

Monday 21st Sep
I'm Running the Sands Ribbon Run 2026.
This October, I am taking part in the Sands Ribbon Run to raise vital funds for Sands (Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Charity). I will be completing a 5K run during Baby Loss Awareness Week (9–15 October), joining thousands of others across the country to make a difference.
I am taking on this challenge in loving memory of a very special baby who is always in our hearts.
My target is to raise £150. Every step I take and every pound raised helps ensure that bereaved families don't have to walk through the darkest times alone. Sands does incredible work providing free support apps, memory boxes, and helplines for families, while also funding research to save babies' lives.To finish Baby Loss Awareness Week, I will also be joining the global Wave of Light at 7 PM on Thursday, 15 October, lighting a candle to remember all the babies gone too soon.
If you are able to support my run and help me hit my £150 goal, any donation makes a massive difference.
Thank you so much for your support, love, and encouragement!
