Thank you for taking time to visit our Just Giving page.

Our beautiful boy Ethan William Smith was born sleeping on the 23rd of May 2016,

In memory of Ethan, myself and some of my good friends; Belinda Keyte, Debbie Bath, Charlotte Hewitt, Hayley Bibb, Kay Wiltshire, Kelly Stewart, Lisa Kelly, my niece Megan Mattison and Sister Yvonne Mattison (AKA Team Ethan), Will be taking part in the Gung-Ho 5k inflatable Obstacle challenge at Cofton Park on Saturday 16^th June 2018,

Most of us in ‘Team Ethan’ can just about manage to run a bath, never mind tackle 20ft inflatables obstacles, but as we approach Ethan’s 2^nd Birthday we are determined to take on this challenge to raise money for an amazing charity. 

The Women’s Hospital Bereavement team were there from the moment Ethan was born, helping us to capture precious memories and enabled Matt and I, to spend two nights with Ethan in the Abbey suite. Their help continued throughout a number of follow up visits and meetings with our consultant, offering support and guidance. During this really difficult time Matt and I received a memory box from our Bereavement midwife. This box was supplied to the hospital by the Baby Ava Support Foundation.

Baby Ava Support Foundation provides precious memory boxes for parents who have suffered the loss of a child. These boxes are provided free of charge to parents across the UK, giving them the opportunity to gather precious memories of their baby that can be treasured for a life time. Each and every item provided in the memory box has been given so much thought and attention.  For us personally the imprint kit included in the memory box meant we was able to have imprints of Ethan’s Hands and footprints which is was one of the most precious things we will keep of Ethan for as long as we live. 

We really appreciate you visiting our page and hope that you will support us by digging deep for this amazing charity.
