Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.

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

 

In a baby castle, just beyond the eye,

Your baby plays with angel toys that money cannot buy.

Who are we to wish him back into this world of strife,

No, play on your baby, he’ll have eternal life.

 

At night when all is silent and sleep forsakes your eyes,

You’ll hear his tiny footsteps come running to your side.

His little hands caress you so tenderly and sweet,

You’ll breathe a little prayer and close your eyes and embrace him in your sleep.

Now you have a treasure that you rate above all others.

You have know true glory,

You are still his mother.

 

As Davey's birthday approaches we're all reflecting on how losing him has affected us and how life would and should have been had he been able to stay. Saturday will be a hard day but also a chance to be proud that our son's memory has been able to raise funds and awareness for other children and their families. Please support us by donating anything you can to this fantastic cause in memory of our son.

To our sleeping angel Davey,

Happy 1st Birthday. We wish you still were here to share it. Love and miss you more than words could ever say and always in our thoughts. Love Mummy, Daddy and big sister, Amelia Jo x x x

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.

As most of you will know, Davey was born March 20th allus this Christmas would have been Davey's first.

Eddie and I are lucky enough to be spending christmas with our entire immediate family including our beautiful daughter Amelia. However for many of us attending there will be one very special person missing.

Not a minute passes when he's not in my thoughts and this time of year just makes it all the more difficult.

We were speechless at everyone's generous donations - it is the only comfort to think there are children in the world who have benefitted from Davey's memorial fund all raised with your support.

A Huge 'Thank you' to everyone who has donated. Cuddle your little and loved ones often and try to remember to show at all times, how precious they really are to you.

                  

                           A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU! X X




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.
