I’m taking part in Sands Ribbon Run

I’m taking part in Sands Ribbon Run this Baby Loss Awareness Week 9-15 October.

Support me as I take on 5, 10 or 15km in support of Sands, helping them to continue to build a world where more babies survive and more families receive the happy ending they deserve.

Ribbon Run is a sponsored run, walk or jog where thousands of people come together to remember their babies and raise funds for Sands. It’s free to sign up and it’s up to you how you take part. You can run it, walk it, push it, or jog it; alone or with friends and family.

By sponsoring me, you are helping Sands break the silence around baby loss and to continue to save babies’ lives.

£3 - could provide a Sands birth certificate for a baby whose birth cannot be registered through a register office.

£10 - could provide a hand and footprint kit to help create memories.

£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.

Layton Jay Thierry Riley-Stewart

Monday 29th Jul
On 9th July unfortunately my friends Katie & Liam suffered a traumatic and horrific loss of their baby boy. Katie carried and protected her son from this world for 9 months and went into hospital late in the evening of 8th July suspecting labour. When she got there unfortunately what was discovered was the tragic loss of their boy.

Placenta eruption occurs in about one in every 100 pregnancies. Multiple doctors have advised that this is a complete freak accident and unfortunately nothing could’ve been done to prevent the loss, however this does not soften the hurt and pain this has caused of losing beautiful Layton. The NHS have worked tirelessly supporting this family during this difficult time and have made it possible for Katie to be able to return home to her daughter, to be able to tell her all about her baby brother, after almost losing her own life, twice.

My only goal is to make this as easy as possible for them during an already difficult time, helping with any personal costs of the funeral and anything remaining to be donated towards whatever the family wish, whether this be a cold cot for future sleeping babies or something else of their choice. This is something that no one should have to go through and at a time like this, money should be no object and no worry.

If you know the family personally and would like to make a contribution and don’t want to do it through here then please contact me directly and we can arrange. From the bottom of my heart and on behalf of the family, any contributions big or small are wholeheartedly appreciated.

Lastly, Layton Jay Thierry Riley-Stewart - you were too precious for this cruel world, you have touched the hearts of many and will stay there forever more. Life will never just go on & we will do everything we can to make sure you are always remembered beautiful boy, whilst doing all we can to support your mom & dad. Thankyou for reading x
