In the year 2000, Olivia tragically lost her young son, Ryan Pearson, who drowned when he was just 5 years old while the family were abroad on their very first foreign holiday. His anniversary is next week, July 2nd.

*The recent news since Olivia and I began this project has been more than horrific, with too many other families suffering extreme loss in a similar way, and Olivia is now more determined than ever to spread the word on water safety for young children as far as she can.

*There is no financial gain in this for anyone (I am not charging for writing this very child friendly story which is called Ryan's Rules in honour of Olivia's son), but she needs £3200 to cover printing and design costs.

*The plan is to distribute the book for free around schools, summer schemes, and sporting events throughout the summer months across NI (and further afield if she can!)

*If you are a business who would like to sponsor a page, of which there are 16 in total at £200 each, please contact Olivia ASAP on watersafetymum@hotmail.com. Individuals can also donate to Olivia's Paypal via the same address. Everyone who contributes will be acknowledged, or donations may be made anonymously if preferred.

*Thank you so much in advance. I know these are hard times financially for everyone, but all efforts to support this local, humble, heartfelt project will be much appreciated.

You can also follow Olivia on Facebook on @WaterSafety Mum to keep up with her progress!
