My story

 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

UPDATE

The Race Night held on the 24th April 09 was a MASSIVE success and we raised a FANTASTIC £4,871. Thank you to everyone invloved.

The 10k/5k treetops run was a brilliant day - fun was had by all, we managed to raise in excess of £2,000 on top of what was donated online.  I will update with final figures once i receive them.  I'm sure Izzy was with us, as the sun was shining.

Captain Hook - I'll beat you next time!!

Thanks to everyone who sponsored and to everyone who ran/walked in memory of Izzy. A really big thank you to big brother harry who also took part, although he slept most of the way round...

 I think once final figures are in - we might have hit out TARGET!


Our Story

On 13th May 2008 our long and stressful journey of fertility was finally over and our dream of becoming parents was finally here.   The birth of our twins wasnt straight forward, but after an emergency section, a blood tranfusion and 5 weeks in hospital our dreams were turned into reality and we were finally home with our perfect twins Harrison and Izabella.

Life was truely amazing and we were so proud of our longed for family, but, 6 short months later our beautiful daughter Izabella sadly died of Pnemacoccal Meningitous.

Life will never be the same, but the dedication of all the staff at the Donna Louise as helped make unbearable times bearable.  We can not thank you enough personally for getting us through these very dark days, and helping us take each day at a time.

Not only does the Trust help parents like oursleves who have lost children in tragic circumstatances, they also offer respite for children with life treatening conditons in the hospice and in their own homes.  

You will never really know what invaluable serrvice the trust offers until you need this help and support yourself, but without your donations this service would not be available, and would not help families like ours rebuild their life after the loss of the most precious thing in the world...

It costs £4,000 a day to run the hospice, £81 a day pays for a nurse, and £2,814 pays for 1 child to stay a week.  Please therefore, help raise funds to provide end of life care for children with life limiting conditions who are not expected to live beyond their teenage years, as well as support for families once their child is gone.

The Bond between a parent and a child is unbreakable our beautiful baby girl will be with us for ever in our hearts and will live on through her twin brother Harrison. 

 Izabella you will be sadly missed but never forgotten, Love Mummy, Daddy and Harry xxx

Our Speical Baby Girl

A star is shining brightly,
It is spelling out your name, you were such a special girl, in our hearts you will remain.                 

We never get to hear you cry,
or rock you off to sleep,
to watch you playing with Harry ,hear the patter of your feet,
but now you are sleeping tightly,
you are an angel in the sky.

We will cherish you forever until the day we all die

Love mummy, daddy and harrison xxx

In Memory of Izzy, we would like to raise £10,000 to help the trust in their time of need.
