Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I know this is the worst time possible to ask, right before
that long awaited January Pay Day! But I’m doing a charity walk this weekend
with my friends Peter and Marie for their daughter Matilda who sadly died in
July last year.

The Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Charity is a national charity in the United Kingdom that provides support to anyone affected by the death of a baby.

We are walking 13 miles as part of a team this Saturday as part of
the Action Challenge Winter Walk 2023.

I have been friends with Pete since we were both 5 years
old. He and his Wife Marie are both wonderful people who work at Queens
Hospital in Romford. On the 13^th of July last year they were told that due to complications Matilda, their daughter had died. This is a terrible
thing for anyone to go through, and to me it seems exceptionally cruel that it happened to 2 genuinely good and decent people. Their strength through this time has left me awestruck. I’m also incredibly proud (but not remotely surprised) they are using their grief as a fuel  raise money to support other parents going through the same thing, unfortunately this is a far more common occurrence than most people think.

Would be grateful if anyone can throw a few quid(or Dollars
or Euros or anything!) in for Matilda. I know her death affected me hugely as a
friend, I can’t even begin imagine the grief parents go through.
