My story
Fundraising for The Silver Star Society fund number 0347:
Hello my name is Emma Bond and on the 22 September 2011 at 35 weeks pregnant my partner Jonathan and I received the most devastating news that our unborn baby had passed away, due to a Placental Abruption caused by severe Pre-Eclampsia. My condition quickly deterroriated and I was transferred from our local hospital to be induced and cared for by the Silver Star Unit for high risk pregnancies at the John Radcliffe in Oxford. Our son William Noah Pollard Bond was delivered on the 23 September and was just lovely weighing in at 4lbs 14oz.
During the most tragic time of our lives the care and support myself and Jonathan received for the Silver Star Unit was second to none and words cannot describe how grateful I feel that my life was saved and that the team helped us through those initial days following William’s passing. In addition the follow up care I have received has been fantastic and most importantly has given us confidence that other children could be in our future with the help this unit provides.
Williams uncle Simon, approached us saying that he would like to do a charity bike ride from John O’Groats to Lands End in memory of William. When Simon asked us to select a charity to fundraise for, the Silver Star Society instantly came to mind.
This years current appeal is to help fund Professor Redman’s research into De-coding Pre-Eclampsia, to help understand why this awful disease happens and how to prevent it. Pre-Eclampsia is one of the most common pregnancy related complications, and while the severity of our situation is not as common, we believe it is critical to all future mums to be to help ensure this research happens.
Simon Pollard says:
We have all been moved by the tragic passing of William last year and wanted to do something in both his memory and in helping to better understand why this could have happened. The charities we hope will benefit from the funds we raise and be able to provide and assist others affected by similar tragedies. It is hard to imagine what it is like to lose a baby but we are determined to try and help understand and support others who have suffered a loss. William deserves to have a long and lasting legacy and we would like to try to do something remarkable that will stimulate thoughts, memories and raise funds to help others. We look forward to remembering William and in trying to help make a difference.
