Story

On the morning of the 15th November 2016 we started the day as the most happy and excited parents. Contractions were in full force and we were on our way to the hospital to meet our Mini Mic. Once we had got ourselves admitted and met our midwife we began all the normal checks; blood pressure fine, temperature fine and then just one final check for the baby's heartbeat. After a couple of attempts with the midwife trying to find the beats we had only heard the day before we were taken into a room with a scan machine. From this point onwards our lives would change forever. Within half an hour of us arriving at the hospital we had a consultant confirm that our little bubba had no heartbeat. Our hearts were broken.

On the 15th November 2016 at 5:24pm we met our sleeping angel, Jason Jnr.

Although there is nothing we can do to change what happened we would like to raise awareness of the tragic event that is stillbirth and make whatever attempt we can to prevent this from happening to any other expectant parents.

In honour of JJ we have setup this page to raise money for the charity that has provided us with bereavement support and continuosly dedicate money towards research to help reduce the stillbirth rate.

Any contributions are so greatly appreciated. Thank you.
