Forever Stars was set up following the stillbirth of Emily Daniels on December 19th 2013. Although Emily was stillborn, Michelle and Richard had to go back on to the labour ward where the surrounded by the sounds of child birth, families celebrating and of course the sound of healthy babies. Michelle and Richard decided that they would fundraise in the name of their daughter to facilitate the building and equipping of bereavement suites and other support material and facilities of future bereaved parents in and around the East Midlands.

The opportunity to undertake this iconic 24 hour challenge has arisen during a really important week in the calendar, Mental Health Awareness Week, something that Baby loss has a huge impact upon.  My employers, John Pye Property are supporting me in this challenge 100% and appreciate the importance of community and charity engagement, particularly with such a local and influential charity as Forever Stars.  I am looking to help these fantastic Baby Loss dad's as much as possible and raise as much money as possible along the way - wish me luck, and support me if you can  !
