Story

Eliza Jane's 3rd birthday is just around the corner. And What better way to help remember her than raising some money for one of the charity's that helped her mummy and daddy through such a tough time in their life's. I am going to raise money by shaving my hair off. 

Back in 2018 when I was pregnant I attended Pathway to Parent classes. In these classes I met such a lovely couple. Sarah and Liam. Sarah and Liam were both super happy and excited, expecting their first baby. 

Little did they know that on the 17th of February they would experience every parents worst fear. They found out that little Eliza didn't have a heart beat. Sadly Sarah gave birth to her sleeping angel on that day. 

I remember the day Sarah messaged me and told me. I honestly didn't know what to do or what to say. I had never known of anyone to have experienced a loss like this before. I was so sad for her and her partner I just didn't know what to do or say (if anything) to make them feel any better.

Sarah and I lost contact for a while but we got back in contact through a mutual friend. I was so pleased to have got back in contact. 

Recently Sarah has been posting about Elizas 3rd birthday and it got me thinking....what could I do to help celebrate her special day. 

I just knew it had to be something brilliant. So here we are. I am asking people if they could kindly donate to "Time Norfolk" it's a charity that provides free help and support to anyone who has experienced pregnancy loss through miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, termination or stillbirth. 

Sarah and Liam both went to this charity together as a couple for 6 months then Sarah attended herself for a further 6 months. 

It would mean a lot to me if you could help me by donating to this brilliant cause. 

I am hoping Covid rules permitted Sarah herself can be the one to shave my hair for me, however if we can not do it that way then I can get my partner to do it for me and take some videos and photos of the big shave. 

Thank you in advance. And fingers crossed all goes ahead on the 17th of February. Mel xx
