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.

Teddy Thompson 🩵

Wednesday 2nd Sep
On March 31st 2026 my gorgeous little boy Teddy Thompson was born sleeping after sadly passing away during labour. There are no words to describe the sadness and heartbreak it has brought to our family. I am determined for Teddy to always be remembered and spoken about for the perfect little boy that he was. When leaving the hospital we were provided with a memory box which included pictures of Teddy and keepsakes that we will cherish forever. Having this as Teddys mum has supported me in being able to feel closer to my little boy, whenever the feeling of grief becomes too much I can open his memory box and feel that little bit closer to him. 🩵
