As many of you know my daughter Jessica passed away at birth on the 21st June 2018 and I was supported by the bereavement team at the Royal Lancaster Infirmary.

Without Celia, the team and the bereavement suite at the maternity unit, my children and I would have never got the precious time with our beautiful Jessica.

I want to try and support them to continue to support bereaved families like they did for us at the worst time of our lives.

I am going to do a tandem skydive from 15,000 feet to raise money for the bereavement suite and awareness of stillbirth.

There are many priceless memories we go by there being in a private room, a cold cot, memory boxes and many other ways in which we were supported through the worst time of our lives.

Sadly in 2024 there is still a stigma attached to spending time with your baby after they are stillborn, the pain is unimaginable and spending the only time you will ever get with your baby shouldn’t be a time where families are judged by people who are lucky enough not to go through that pain. So as well as raising funds I want to raise awareness of stillbirth and celebrate my girl’s 6th birthday.
