Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Following on from last years 333.0Five Challenge, where Tom Venner and friends including myself, managed to raise over £4200 for SANDS, and in memory of our daughter Milly I have decided to continue this legacy and continue to raise further money by taking on a series of events/challenges throughout 2016. I will be raising money this year for the Lily Mae Foundation. http://www.lilymaefoundation.org/
I am hoping to have others join me on my way too.
For those that do not know our story, in 2014 on 21st October, we gave birth Milly Florence sadly born sleeping. She was stunning in every way and would have grown up to be the perfect child if she had the chance. From that day onward we have been rebuilding our lives, with similarities, to the life we once knew we built a new normal, one that helped us live with the pain of losing a baby.
Since mid 2015 we have had the help and support of the Lily Mae foundation, their members and many other angel mummy and daddies that have had similar experiences to us. The Lily Mae Foundation has given us the chance to openly discuss our suffering, at their monthly support groups and see how people get through the darkness and learn to live with the ache that will never leave.
The Lily Mae foundation was set up in 2012 by Amy and Ryan Jackson after losing their Daughter Lily Mae in February 2010. They wanted to leave a legacy to Lily Mae and help others who have experienced similar loss. To understand more about what the Lily Mae foundation do and offer please visit their website.
