In memory of Ivy Florence Mashiter

Fundraising for Friends of Serenity

Story

There are a group of friends running in memory of Ivy.

Ivy was born on the 25th July 2014. A severe placental abruption mid-labour starved Ivy of oxygen, causing irreversible damage.

Ivy died on the 27th July 2014.

All funds raised will go to Serenity. This charity is working to provide an additional suite to add to the existing one at East Lancashire Women's and Newborn Centre. These suites are for expectant mothers who are or have experienced difficulties during pregnancy. A much needed resource to ensure that no family is left without access to a suite, should they need it. Memory boxes are also provided for parents who have lost their babies.

Friends of Serenity aims to preserve and protect the health of sick pregnant women and those who have suffered a miscarriage, stillbirth or neonatal death in particular but not exclusively by providing and assisting in the provision of facilities, Serenity Suites and equipment at East Lancashire Women and New Born Centre not normally provided by the statutory authorities. We work hard to support newly bereaved parents through the provision of memory boxes and miscarriage keepsakes. By dressing their babies we hope to make distressing and devastating time a little more comforting by taking the pressure off them. These are provided in East Lancashire and throughout the country on public requirement. Additionally, we strive to provide qualified information by any means appropriate on the 2nd most common chromosome disorder Trisomy 13.
