2026 Ribbon Run Virtual

Help Victoria 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.

My 5K for SANDS 🤍

I’ve decided to take on a challenge that is incredibly close to my heart — a 5K walk, not a run, through beautiful surroundings, with the exact location to be chosen nearer the time.

For me, this isn’t simply a 5K.

With every step, I’ll be thinking about the babies who were lost far too soon, the families left behind to navigate unimaginable grief, and the parents whose world can change in a moment.

I’ll be walking for the families who experience that devastating loss and the emotional trauma that comes with it. Families who need someone to listen. Someone to understand. Someone to tell them that they are not alone.

That is why I want to raise money and awareness for SANDS.

The support SANDS provides to families experiencing pregnancy and baby loss is incredible. Having access to the right resources, support and understanding during such an unbearable time can make a difference when people feel like their whole world has fallen apart.

I feel extremely lucky to be able to do what I do as a career — supporting, caring for and guiding others when things don’t go as planned. But my work also has its difficult moments. It has taught me just how precious life is, how quickly things can change, and how important it is to never take a single day for granted.

This walk will be a reminder to slow down, take life one day at a time and be grateful.

Grateful for my baby.

Grateful for the people I love.

And grateful that I am in a position where I can care for others, support them and help guide them towards the right help when they need it most.

But most importantly, I’ll be walking for those who cannot.

For the tiny lives that were here for far too short a time.

For the parents who had dreams, hopes and a lifetime imagined with their baby, only to have that taken away.

For the families who have had to learn how to carry grief while the rest of the world carries on.

And for every person who has ever felt that devastating emptiness.

5K might not sound like a huge challenge, but every step will carry a much bigger meaning.

If you are able to donate, no matter how small, you will be helping me raise vital funds for SANDS and helping ensure that families facing baby loss can access the support they so desperately need.

If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this and helping me raise awareness.

Because baby loss matters. These babies matter. These families matter. Their grief matters. 🤍

And every single step I take will be for them.

For the babies lost too soon.
For the families left behind.
For SANDS.
For hope, support and understanding.

🤍 Please help me make every step count.
