Running for Sands 2025: Pounding Pavements to Remember & Support.

Each step I take this year isn’t just for fitness—it’s for remembrance, healing, and solidarity. I’m lacing up for Sands, the UK’s Stillbirth & Neonatal Death Charity, to honour babies lost and support grieving families.

Why Sands Means So Much

Sands offers much-needed care, community and hope. They support anyone affected by the death of a baby, train healthcare providers, champion research, and push for policy change to prevent future losses. Let’s break the silence around a heartbreak too many face. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

The Ribbon Run: Run, Remember, Repeat

This virtual run takes place during Baby Loss Awareness Week (9–15 October) with an official day on 11 October. Choose your distance—5k, 10k, or even 15k—and run, walk or jog in memory of precious little lives. Whether solo or with friends, we run together. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
