2026 Ribbon Run Virtual

Help Robyn 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.

Our Story

Thursday 24th Sep
Like many other families, our family has just experienced the pain and heartbreak of miscarriage and losing a child. 

After a second successful round of IVF, we were so excited to be pregnant again. We were going to become a family of 4 and Jacob was going to have a little brother or sister. A baby, that was technically Jacob’s twin was due just 4 days before his 2nd birthday. 

At our 12 week scan, after no warning signs or problems, we found that the perfect little baby that should be looking back at us, had stopped growing around 10 weeks. The heart we had seen beating so strongly at an early scan was still. 

The pain and devastation was like something neither of us had ever felt. Everything we had pictured, every announcement we had practiced and Jacob’s “big brother” T-shirt just frozen in time. 

The day of the actual miscarriage was the worst day of my life. Seeing our baby so small and helpless was one thing, but unexpected pain, complications and fear in Emma's eyes will with stay with me forever. 

Through everything we have experienced and every conversation we have had, what has become abundantly clear is that this affects so many more families than we ever imagined. So we have decided that the best tribute we can give to the baby who was with us so fleetingly, is to celebrate them. We will talk about them for years to come and they will always be part of our story. 

This year we are taking part the SANDS Ribbon run (or walk in our case) and inviting everyone to join us. Help us to bring baby loss out of the shadows and prove there is a community of people ready to support you during some of the darkest times. Join us on our walk (text us for the details), go on a walk of your own and if you are able, please contribute to our fundraising so Sands can be there to support other families during their most painful moments. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
