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.

For Our Little Angel Noah 👼💙

Monday 6th Jul
Me and my son Riley are taking on a 10k run to raise money for Sands in memory of my little boy — and Riley’s little brother — Noah James Hobson 💙.

Noah arrived on 01.09.16, and although he was only with us for 53 minutes, he filled our lives with a love we will carry forever. He was perfect, and he was ours, before he went to play with the angels 👼.

The days, weeks, and months that followed were some of the hardest we’ve ever faced. Without the support of Sands, we would never have found our way through that storm. They gave us space to grieve, people to lean on, and the strength to keep going.

We’re running this 10k for Noah, and for every family who needs Sands just like we did. Thank you for supporting us — it truly means more than words.
