Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>In September 2011, Chris and I endured the traumatic loss of our beautiful baby boy Zach Oliver.&nbsp; In just&nbsp;a few days our lives were turned upside down, and the heart ache we experienced was more than we have ever known.&nbsp;</p> <p>We feel strongly that more research&nbsp;is desperately needed looking into why babies are stillborn and&nbsp;looking at where improvements need to be made in the&nbsp;antenatal care provided.&nbsp;&nbsp;The charity, Tommy's,&nbsp;is involved in invaluable research&nbsp;in this respect.&nbsp;&nbsp;They also provide much needed&nbsp;support to parents.&nbsp; It is&nbsp;only with more research that we&nbsp;can hope to see a&nbsp;reduction of stillbirth rates.&nbsp;&nbsp;Although we can not change the circumstances for ourselves, if we can help towards&nbsp;preventing&nbsp;other parents from going through what we have been through, then this will be a something positive to come out of our nightmare.</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to read this and for supporting us in this fundraising event.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
