Story
My name is Emelia-Paige and I'm 3 years old. One of my twin sisters Darcey passed away when I was only 23 months old.
My mummy and other lovely people set up a charity in my sister's name Darcey's Dream- My Family And Siblings Matter Registration number 1173488.
My Sister's Charity offers support to the whole family after the loss of a baby or child and has a special focus on siblings like me. As Darcey's oldest sister, I want to raise as much money as I can for her charity to help other siblings, I have set myself a target of £10,000. Sadly when a sibling loses their brother or sister they often get overlooked as the focus is on the parents. My mummy didn't think that was right so Darcey's Dream supports siblings like me as we grieve just as much as mummy's and daddy's. Everyday I ask my mummy when Darcey can come home and when heaven will give her back. I miss my sister so much and I really wish she was here to play with me, my sister Layla-Grace and my brother Bailey.
Darcey's Dream offers lots of support for siblings like me including providing Sweet Dreams Sibling memory boxes to hospitals across the country to allow siblings to be included in the memory making. Each memory box costs my sister's charity £30 but it is priceless to the families and siblings. Siblings can also access counselling and distraction therapy which is 6-8 sessions in their chosen activity funded by Darcey's Dream.
I'm playing a game of swim tag with celebrities over the next year. I started on 24th Aug 18 swimming 10 olympic size lengths with a celebrity and then once completed they nominate another celeb to swim with me.
I've been swimming since I was 6 weeks old and I want to do this for my sister. Please follow my progress on Facebook @DarceysDream & @10lengthsfordarcey, Twitter @DarceysDream and www.darceysdream.com

I would be so grateful for any donations and your support. I'm leading the way as Darcey's older sibling #10lengthsforDarcey x

I am Darcey's sister and I know what it's like for one of my siblings to die and I don't want any other sibling to be over looked after the death of their brother or sister. Siblings grieve too and we need help and support just as much as the parents xx
