Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

On 4th December 2018 our beautiful son, Isaac, grew his wings too soon due to an overwhelming group B strep infection at birth. We didn't know anything about Group B Strep until Isaac had died. 40% of the population carry Group B Strep in their bodies. Group B Strep is not routinely tested for in pregnant women in the UK - this is what we want to change as our son could be here today for a simple test. 

1 baby per week dies because of this.

The test costs just £35 privately.

We have currently raised over £1400 through the funeral directors donations page but that is only staying accessible for a few weeks after Isaac's funeral.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
