Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The Lily Mae Foundation was set up in July 2010 in memory of a very special little girl.  It was formed to create a lasting legacy to not only Lily Mae's parents and family, but also to many others who were not fortunate enough to meet her.

The National Charity SANDS report that today, 17 babies will die; all the tragic victims of stillbirth or neonatal death. This statistic is showing no signs of decreasing and for every stillborn or neonatal death there is a family that is devastated following the loss of their baby.

This shocking statistic, the loss of 6,500 babies every year, is something the public is not generally aware of. Most people think stillbirths don’t happen in the 21st century.  Stillbirth and Neonatal Death are taboo subjects, yet stillbirth in the UK is 10 times more common than cot death.

The Lily Mae Foundation is determined to change public perception of Stillbirth and Neonatal Death.  Despite its frequency, there is little public perception of the frequency of Stillbirth and Neonatal Death. There has also historically been a lack of funding for research into Stillbirth and Neonatal Death.

Donations to The Lily Mae Foundation will be used to help and support Parents and Families that have been affected by the death of a baby.  The Lily Mae Foundation aims to help change public perception of Stillbirth and Neonatal Death.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
