Hello My name is Mark Steven Larden i am 25 from Dronfield Derbyshire father to my beloved twin boys Kieran & Joel Redfern-Larden who where born 3 months prematurely tragically  Kieran & Joel passed away just over 3 weeks apart In September 2007.

Joel was  sadly born Stillborn on the 3rd of September, i was awoken by the nurses in the room that i was staying in at the Jessops Hospital in Sheffield on the 28th of Septemberi was told that  Kieran had been struck down with a blood clot in his brain i had no option but to  agree to emergency surgery to try and remove the  blood clot to save his life sadly Kieran didn't pull through the operation.

The passing of Kieran and Joel has had a huge effect on my life there is not a day that goes by that i don't think about them both and wish that i could hold them in my arms again i miss them both more than words can ever describe they both mean the world to me and will always be in my heart and mind.

I never thought that anything like this would ever happen to me i was 21 when Kieran and Joel tragically passed away it hit me like a ton of bricks,losing a child/children is the worst thing any person can go through in life the pain and hurt its unbearable.

I carried Kieran & Joels coffins too and from the church and too their Graves it was the hardest thing i have ever had to do in my life, no one deserves to go through that my heart goes out to every parent who has suffered the loss of a child/children.

I was inspired to help Sands in memory of Kieran and Joel Sands is a charity very close to my heart,i learned very quickly that not everyone has someone that they can turn to for support in their time of need.

Sands is such a worthwhile cause it provides support for parents that have suffered from the loss of a child/children who may not have anyone there to support them many of the people who work for Sands do understand the devastating effects of losing a child/children because they have also lost a child/children.


I am walking up Mt Snowdon with friends on Saturday the 19th May in memory of Kieran and Joel to help Sands provide support for fellow bereaved parents i appreciate all the support and donations that i receive it means alot to me and my family.

Thank you for taking time to read this page


Kind Regards
