2026 Ribbon Run Virtual

Help Shannon 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.

5K in Memory of My Baby

Wednesday 12th Aug
This October, during Baby Loss Awareness Week, I will be running 5K to raise money for Sands, and in memory of my baby 🤍

Losing my baby changed me in ways I don’t think I’ll ever fully be able to put into words. Behind closed doors, I completely lost myself for a while. The grief tore me apart, and finding my way back as been one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do, and still continue to do. 

Since losing my baby, I’ve also come across so many other people who have experienced the loss of a baby, in so many different circumstances. One thing that has really stayed with me is how many people have had to navigate such unimaginable grief while feeling like there simply wasn’t enough support around them.

Thats another reason why this means so much to me. 

I’m doing this in memory of my own baby, but I’m also doing this for all those babies that couldn’t stay, and for every parent and family that have had to experience this kind of loss. No matter when or how that loss happened. Nobody should have to feel alone while going through something so heartbreaking.

My baby may not be here for me to watch grow, but they will always be apart of me, and I want to make sure their little life continues to mean something. 

So I have made the decision that this isn’t going to be something I just do once. Every year, I want to challenge myself whether it be further in a run or something completely different,  in memory of my baby, and this year I’m starting with a 5k for Sands. 

I’m not much of a runner so this will most definitely be a challenge for me, but to be able to complete this will mean even more to me. 

I’m raising money for Sands so they can continue to support families experiencing the heartbreak of pregnancy and baby loss, as well as helping to improve the bereavement care and save babies lives. 

Every kilometre will be for my baby, and every step will be for all the babies who couldn’t stay and the families who carry them with them every day. 👣 🤍

If you’d like to donate, no matter how small, I’d be incredibly grateful. And if you can’t donate, sharing my page would mean just as much. 

For the little life that changed mine forever, and for all the little lives that will never be forgotten. 🤍
