Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Harrison cycles 9 miles in memory of his big brother!  

🌈 Saturday 15th June 2019. 🌈

This weekend marks the ninth year George won’t be with his family for Daddys Day.  💔 

Harrison has asked to cycle 9 miles - from his home to George’s church and back again (and a little extra!).

He is raising money for the hospital he, Lucas & Felicity were born in, to help them support bereaved families at the worst time of their lives.

This was all completely his own idea, all he has requested is that people sponsor him (& maybe balloons, cake & ice cream to help celebrate!!) 

If you are free, please feel free to come & cheer him on from our house/ the route or the church.  ❤️

We are so proud of him; more than he will ever know! 

Lucas & Felicity are hoping to join him at least one way (dependant!)
If you are able to, please sponsor him. ❤️

15 babies die before, during or shortly after birth every day in the UK. This has to stop, when were first heard of SANDS it was 17 so it’s amazing that is has reduced. 
BUT it isn’t good enough still-  15 Babies in the UK die everyday, 15 Families go through this horrendous hell, 15 Babies never get to come home. 

This is NOT fair and HAS to change! Please help....

‘4George’

We are raising money to support Cambridgeshire SANDS, they work tirelessly to support anyone affected by the loss of a baby in the Cambridgeshire area. They offer support groups & support both the Rosie Addenbrookes and Hinchingbrooke hospital to help improve bereavement care. We would like to be able to provide the Rosie hospital with a dedicated bereavement suite so parents can spend time with their baby together as a family in a comfortable homely environment. 

In December 2010 our first baby was born, 10 days over due! George Thomas Boon was born 'singing' & perfect. 
A few hours after birth George unexpectantly fell asleep. Breaking our hearts in the process!
Our whole world was turned upside down and will never be the same again. Part of our family is missing and will always be. 

George’s rainbow siblings Harrison, Lucas and Felicity were born at the Rosie. And we would like to support the hospital to be able to have bereavement support

Thank you for reading this far and for supporting our little family ❤️❤️❤️❤️.
