Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Rachel and her friend Melissa have committed to doing a 15,000 feet skydive on Saturday 6th August 2022 in memory of Olivia. 

Our little girl, Olivia, died aged 21 months on 26th July 2018 after spending 9 weeks in Paediatric Intensive Care at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Belfast. Olivia smiled through it all and was incredibly brave until the end. 

The care that the staff provided for Olivia was second to none. They made her final weeks a time that we, her family, will cherish and appreciate forever. Their professionalism, care and dedication to us as a family is something that has continued to help us through a very difficult time. As a result, we are keen to continue to try and support the Royal Children's Hospital for Sick Children's charity, 'Helping Hand'. The charity funds an array of medical equipment, interactive and sensory toys and machinery that help make the children's time in hospital a more positive experience.

Thank you so much for your support as we continue to try to fundraise. It is really appreciated as we continue to keep Olivia's legacy a positive one to help those who require the care that she did.
