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.

Our Story

Friday 7th Aug
This October, Richard and I will be taking part in a 5K to raise money for Sands, a charity that supports families affected by the loss of a baby.

In January 2025, we experienced the heartbreak of losing our own precious baby. Taking on this challenge is our way of honouring and remembering our little angel, while helping other families who find themselves facing the same unimaginable loss.

If you’re able to support us with a donation, no matter how small, we would be so grateful. We also completely understand that times are tough for many people right now, so if donating isn’t possible, simply sharing our fundraising page would mean the world to us and could help us reach others who are able to give.

Thank you for your kindness, support, and for helping us remember our little one while supporting such an important cause. ❤️
