My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page

Dale and I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on 25th July 2009, unfortunately Reece David Sturgess was stillborn, his life cut so short.

Poole Maternity Unit were absolutely fantastic in everyway, from telling us our baby was no longer alive to the continued support we are still receiving. Once I had given birth to Reece, we were supported by Gena (bereavement councilor and midwife) who gave us the opportunity to bathe, take hand and foot prints and as many photo's as we wanted. We were then taken to a suite away from the ward to allow us to spend time with family and more importantly time with our precious baby boy.

S.P.R.I.N.G is such an important charity, without this we wouldn't have available the suite nor the support that is offered at such difficult times. By raising money it will enable this charity to continue and provide such help in the future to others and during our subsequent pregnancies.

Any donation is very much appreciated

Lots of love
