Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Some of you may or may not know our story but we lost our Baby Boy Harrison when he was just 3 days old. We are organising this walk in his memory & here is a bit of detail:
We are walking 46 miles over 2 days - 30th April & 1st May 2011 and the monies raised are going to be split between 2 different causes.
Quidenham Children's Hospice (EACH)
"Why" - Some of you may or may not have heard of them. They are a registered charity that cares for children and young people with life-threatening conditions and complex healthcare needs - They also offer bereavement support which we have been receiving since Harrison died and they have been absolutely wonderful.
They rely on donations and they need £4million to deliver their services this year.
The Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit at The Norfolk & Norwich Hospital.
"Why" - Harrison was cared for in the unit and we can not thank them enough for all of their care and attention, not just to Harrison but to myself and Simon. With their help and support we got to spend 3 precious days with him, we got to change his nappy, have lots of cuddles, give him his 1st bath, dress him in his first little outfit and we were even able to have him Christened.
On Harrison's final day with us we were taken to a private room where we were able to spend some time as a family on our own without all of the machines bleeping around us.
We want to raise money for a portable ventilator for this room. If the unit had one of these when Harrison was there we would have been able to spend more time with him on our own in private.
I would love to help supply one of these machines so that any other parent's going through such an horrendous time are able to spend as much precious time with their little ones as possible.
So now you know why we are doing this, please sponsor us & help raise some money in memory of Harrison.
If you do want to sponsor us on the Paper form then just send me an message and I will bring the form to you!
Thank you all for your support.
Claire & Simon.
