2026 Ribbon Run Virtual

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.

I decided to take part in this to raise awareness of Sands. 

I also wanted to do something meaningful after the loss of my nephew, Malakai Christian who was born sleeping. 

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.

I have decided to take part in the sands ribbon run in loving memory of my nephew Malakai Christian. Although this loss is still very raw and emotional I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to raise money for something that is so close to my family.

If you can donate even the smallest amount it all contributes.

Thank you to my Sponsors
