2026 Ribbon Run Manchester

I’m taking part in Sands Ribbon Run

I’ve committed to taking part in Sands Ribbon Run in Manchester which takes place during Baby Loss Awareness Week on Saturday 10 October 2026. I am taking part 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.

Baby Rashaun

Tuesday 8th Sep
🎗️ FOR RASHAUN 🎗️

📅 Saturday 10 October 2026 | 📍 Heaton Park, Manchester

I’m walking every single step for you, my beautiful Rashaun.

You were here with us for six short, precious weeks six weeks filled with so much love, so many gentle moments, and all the joy you brought into our world. It wasn’t nearly long enough. We didn’t get nearly enough time to hold you, to love you, to watch you grow… but every second we had you was a gift I will treasure for the rest of my life. 💔✨

You may not be here in my arms anymore, but you are forever in my heart. I carry your name, your memory and all my love with me every mile, every breath, every moment. I run not just for the distance, but so the world knows you existed, you were loved deeply, and you will never, ever be forgotten.

I do this for you, and for every family who has felt this same heartbreak losing a baby far too soon, leaving a silence so loud it feels impossible to bear. Sands holds us up when we feel we can’t stand, they listen when no words feel right, and they fight so fewer hearts have to break like ours did. They are there for families in those hardest days, and they work to make sure every baby gets the best possible care.

If you can, please donate  every penny helps Sands be there for others, and every gift is a little piece of love sent straight to Rashaun’s name.

Six weeks with you changed my whole life. You left too soon, but you left love that will last forever.
I will run for you, remember you, and love you always. 🕊️🤍
