On September 8th 2021 at 3.32pm we said both hello and goodbye to our beautiful baby boy. I have never felt heartache like it. 

The pain on receiving the news that our baby was too poorly to make it full term is pain I have never felt in my life and without the help of SANDS I don’t know how we would have got through. 

SANDS is the leading stillbirth and neonatal death charity in the UK. They exist to reduce the number of babies dying and to ensure that anyone affected by the death of a baby receives the best possible care and support for as long as they need it. For me personally they made what felt like an unbearable process a little more manageable and continue to do so with their ongoing support. 

After giving Frankie the special send off he deserved today, I wanted to mark it by raising money for the wonderful charity that helped us through and set myself a challenge to complete in his memory. 

From Saturday 6th November I will run 16km for 16 consecutive days  ( 256km )  in memory of our beautiful boy Frankie who I carried for 16weeks. 

Thank you for taking the time to read my story.  Any donation no matter how small is appreciated. 

In memory of Frankie Judge, born sleeping 8.09.21. Forever in our hearts 💙
