Thanks for visiting Freya's team page. We've joined together to raise awareness and funds for the amazing charity VPRA - Vasa Praevia raising awareness, in loving memory of Freya Lilian Marie Cheffings 10th-11th August 2011.Whose life was so cruelly stolen 3hrs and 42mins after her birth due to undiagnosed VP.
Vasa Praevia is a devastating pregnancy condition that, without awareness, kills full term healthy babies at birth. However when diagnosed in pregnancy by a simple colour doppler ultrasound scan and a management plan is observed there is a 100% survival rate. We want everyone to be aware especially medical proffesionals and pregnant women..... full term healthy babies need not die at birth!
These tragedies are preventable.... thanks to greater awareness and guidelines there are hospitals safely delivering vp babies....but not all are....thats why we need your help.......today!
Please click on any of the fundraising pages below or the link to VPRA to read more about Vasa Praevia and its risks ....see how you can help save a baby's life....it could even be your baby's life you save.
VPRA and all the families we have been so privaleged to come into contact with through the charity have provided us with overwhelming friendship and support as well as knowledge and advice. We can not thank them enough for being there for us. Please help us spread the word www.vasapraevia.co.uk make yourselves aware of the risks!
Freya's full story is available to read on Sharon & Simon's page below. www.justgiving.com/Freya-Lilian-Marie-Cheffings It also explains more about what VP is and the women in high risk groups for VP. Sharon was in several of the risk groups and displayed symptoms of VP, but was never told about or screened for VP..... Simon & Bo's shark dive page www.justgiving.com/SimonandBo also lists the high risk groups.
