Story
The 'Forget-Me-Not' fund was set up by Hayley Ellenton, a staff nurse at Hull Women and Children's Hospital to provide memory boxes to women who have suffered early pregnancy loss to help with the grieving process and provide comfort. The boxes include a packet of forget-me-not flower seeds, a journal for writing down thoughts and feelings, a candle, a bespoke pendant, a memorial certificate and information on local and national sources of advice and support.
The full story can be read here... http://www.hey.nhs.uk/news/2016/12/06/special-memory-boxes-set-ease-grief-early-pregnancy-loss/
Each box costs £7.50 and by running the Hull 10k on 18th June 2017 I am hoping to be able to pay for 40. This is a relatively new project and so is not a registered charity yet but all funds received will go straight to Hayley Ellenton and the Hull Women and Children's Hospital.

7 years agoThank you everyone for your sponsorship. The run was pretty gruelling today in the heat and I didn't get a PB but was only 9 seconds away from it so I was very pleased considering the conditions! My final time was 56.47. Whilst there are still funds that need collecting the current estimate is approximately £550 and so that is funding for approximately 74 memory boxes! Thank you again for your support xxx
