Our best friends recently lost their baby Poppy at full term. This is something no human being should have to go through, and it is simply not fair. We feel passionately about doing something positive for Amy, George and Poppy so will be donning our running outfits to complete 10k together (virtually) on Saturday 18 July. Some of us may even dress up in a ridiculous outfit... but either way we will be joining as a collective to run/walk/cry/paddle/swim our way around the local vicinity. Petals are a supportive platform for Rog and Amy and I know their counselling sessions are helping them get through their days and weeks. Please support us and donate as little or as much as you can. Join in too if you fancy a little challenge. Below is a little bit more information about the great work that Petals do.

For parents who lose a baby, the grief and trauma completely takes over their life and many struggle to move on from their experience. At Petals we have a team of highly trained, compassionate counsellors who support parents at their lowest. We sit, listen and guide parents through the processing of their emotions and trauma. Reassuring them and getting them to a place where they can begin to recover and find hope for the future. That's what drives us to work hard and support as many parents as we can. Every counselling session costs £70 and thanks to our supporters we are able to raise money and help more parents now.
