October is Baby Loss Awareness month, GBS Prenatal onset prevention month and also marks the 4th birthday of our beautiful daughter Faith who was born sleeping. Sounds like a good time to host a fundraising event!

To mark the 4th birthday of Faith we are doing a sponsored Humber Bridge Walk.  The Humber Bridge is 2.2km each way, with a 1,6,9 and 12 year old, plus a husband who is scared of heights it's both enjoyable and a little unnerving! 

On 23rd October 2015 our 4th child, Faith, was stillborn full term plus 9 days. It was only when we received all the results back following Faiths death that I found out I had Group B Strep. I will be treated for GBS in future pregnancies, but have had to wait for my baby to die to find out I even had it!!! I am now passionate about raising awareness of GBS

Group B Streptococcus is the UK's most common cause of life-threatening infection in newborn babies and of meningitis in babies under age 3 months. On average in the UK, at least-two babies a day develop a group B Strep infection -one baby a week dies from their GBS infection, and-one baby a week survives with long-term disabilities – physical, mental or both.Yet most group B Strep infections are preventable. Group B Strep International  informs families & health professionals about group B Strep to save tiny lives.
