Hi I am Gemma and I am doing a bungee jump
for my Warrington project, with the help of Life after Loss. The money
raised from this jump is going to fund the training for a bereavement
midwife for Warrington General Hospital. If I raise £1000 I will be
jumping off a crane in Manchester over 160 ft high praying that the
rope does not snap!!!!!!!!!! So please dig deep and make me do the
dreaded jump!
I lost my
own baby in 2004 and ever since then have received support from
charities like Life after Loss, and eventually I have progressed to the
side of supporting others.
At the beginning of ths year I embarked on a more personal project with the help of the charity to improve bereavement services in Warrington. This includes getting things like photography equipment (to capture precious memories), clothing, furniture, literature, etc. Also I am running a phone helpline and monthly support group at the hospital and am actively involved in continuing to work with the hospital to improve services and facilities for parents who have to deal with the tragedy of losing a baby in Warrington. All the changes I am implementing will benefit victims of miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, late miscarriage, stillbirth and neonatal loss. I wish Warrington did not need a bereavement midwife but while parents are still losing their precious babies I want them to have the best possible care.
Please
help me, and help famlies in my area. If I raise the money for this who
knows I may be jumping for more midwives elsewhere! They are needed all
over the UK and hopefully my jump will be the start of something bigger
with my project AND the inspiration for others!
