Story

Rowan Patston-Noble. Our much loved and longed for Son, Grandson and Nephew. 

He is the most beautiful boy who was born sleeping on the 25th October 2019 just 4 days from his due date. Rowan's passing has left our family heartbroken. We were all so very excited for his arrival and then our world came crashing down around us. My Daughter & Son-in-Law were able to spend 4 precious days with their beautiful son, they had time as a family at Abigail's Suite in Medway Hospital. They were able to wash & change him, read him stories, take photographs & tell him how much he is loved. They made memories. 

Adam's parents, my husband & I were able to cuddle our Grandson and say goodnight to him, we wrote him letters and smothered him with kisses, told him we loved him & will love him forever. 

None of this would have been possible without Abigail's Footsteps, a wonderful charity who is there to support families during the most
tragic time. In memory of our beautiful boy we would love to raise enough money to donate an 'Abi Cold Cot' to one of 6 hospitals currently on the waiting list. 

Please, please donate as much (or little) as you can.

Our time spent with Rowan was so precious, we have memories
of which we wouldn't have without the 'Abi Cold Cot'

Love and thanks from us all xx
