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.

Saturday 3rd OctUnfortunately, in May this year, Raymond and I heard the words no parent ever wants to hear — we had lost our beautiful little boy. Who we named Freddie🧸🩵
The staff at the hospital and the bereavement team were absolutely incredible in supporting us through one of the darkest and most heartbreaking times of our lives. We will always be grateful for the kindness, compassion and care they showed us.
Having to say goodbye to and lay to rest our precious baby boy, who we had imagined being part of our future, was utterly heartbreaking. It’s a pain that words can never truly describe, and a loss we will carry in our hearts forever.
Our little boy may not have had the chance to grow up in our arms, but he will always be a part of us, and he will never be forgotten.
On Saturday 10th October we are taking part in a 10km Sands Ribbon Run/Walk & are hoping to raise donations in memory of all the beautiful babies taken far too soon, to help support families going through the unimaginable pain of baby loss. Every little donation, no matter how big or small, can make a difference and help bring comfort to families who need it most. 🤍
If you’re able to donate, share this post, or simply help spread the word, it would mean so much. Every act of kindness counts, and together we can help make sure these precious little lives are remembered. 👼🏻🕯️
