My story

 

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.

We have set this account up in loving memory of our son, Davey Pitchford - Shanley.


Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. No contribution is too small and WILL make a big difference. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Association For Spina Bifida And Hydrocephalus gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation at no extra charge to yourself.

We thank all those people who have offered support and kindness in the weeks since Davey's birth. Eddie and I have personalised a flower arrangement for our son and while we're asking people not to send flowers we appreciate very much those that donate to this memorial instead. We can't begin to express how important raising money for this charity is to us, in our son's memory.

Little Snow Drop

The world may never notice 

If a Snowdrop doesn't bloom, 

Or even pause to wonder 

If the petals fall too soon. 

But every life that ever forms, 

Or ever comes to be, 

Touches the world in some small way 

For all eternity. 



The little one we long for 

Was swiftly here and gone. 

But the love that was then planted 

Is a light that still shines on. 

And though our arms are empty, 

Our hearts know what to do. 

Every beating of our hearts 

Says that we do love you.

Thank you for taking time to read this.
