Elizabeth Eaton is raising money for Abigail's Footsteps
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
Karl and I have decided that 2018 is the year we get fit, travel somewhere we haven’t been together, by a form of transport we haven’t used before, and raise lots of money in the process! So we’re cycling from London (Croydon) to Paris (the Eiffel Tower) on the 12th of September, it will take us 4 days cycling approx 80 miles a day, training starts 8 January and will involve months of our behinds getting used to the saddle!!
We are raising money for Abigail’s Footsteps, a local charity helping you live a life after stillbirth. The charity is very deserving of our support, and although this hasn’t affected us personally, it has affected people close to us, here is the reason Abigail’s Footsteps was created...
When David and Jo Ward started the charity in 2010 it was driven by a need to help ensure no-one suffered in the same way as they did. What has become very evident since the charity was formed is that the lack of information and empathy they endured is replicated in many maternity units.
We know there is nothing we can do to prevent stillbirth or neonatal death. But we do know that we can help support healthcare professionals and families cope better. We fulfill a real and unmet need occupying a space that no other organisation, authority or charity can and is addressing.
What started out as a grieving couple’s desire to help others has now become a powerful, influential and actionable charity that is making a demonstrable difference to people’s lives. If you’d like to read their story or know more about the charity please visit http://www.abigailsfootsteps.co.uk.
