2026 Ribbon Run Virtual

Help Rebecca raise 150!

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.

Why now ...?

Tuesday 29th Sep
Hi everyone, 

Thank you for coming to our page. Myself and my Twin, Rachel were only 4 when my parents found out they were expecting their fourth baby. I remember being encouraged to "get a drink" from the kitchen by our older brother Stuart, so I could earwig on our parents news. 
In July 1997, I vividly remember my Mum going into labour, sadly our brother was born sleeping. He was so tiny and perfect, it broke us all for a while but ultimately brought us together as a tribe.

So why now?
I remember every Saturday we would go to the cemetery where our brother is eternally resting and lay flowers.  
We always dressed our best and I remember one sage green outfit I named "my cemetery outfit" as I always seemed to wear it on a Saturday. 
My Grandfather fought for a respectable resting area for the babies born asleep and it's down to him that they all have Angels Corner.
I think it's about time, as his eldest sister, to keep his memory alive, just like my parents did every Saturday, taking us to lay flowers down.

I would be grateful if you could give just a small amount to a charity that supports grieving families at their time of need.
