2026 Ribbon Run Virtual

Help Nicola raise 800!

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.

My story

Wednesday 30th Sep
On 18th October 2008 our beautiful boy was born sleeping. I will never forget the day I went for our 1st scan to be told we we're further than we thought in our pregnancy and then the look from the sonographer and then the dreaded I've just got to go get someone for a second opinion. 

We was told our boy had a condition called anecephaly. His brain and skull hadn't formed properly. 

When he was born we didn't get much support, we was offered counselling but was not followed up with after care. We was left to it. 

It's only been recently we have seen baby loss support grow and grow. I wish we had this support when we went through it, which is why I feel so passionate about spreading awareness and raising money for baby loss families. I don't want anyone to feel alone like we did. 

Let's get running 🎽
