Brighton Marathon 2025 · 6 April 2025 ·

We provide comfort and support to Parents and siblings following the loss of a baby or babies before, during or shortly after birth. We are working all over Sussex offering Bereavement Support, Specialist Bereavement Counselling* and Support Programmes for Mums and Dads. We are working alongside the Brighton Sussex and University Hospitals in Sussex to create gentle, calm spaces for families to spend time with their baby/ies within their Hospitals. We have undertaken a number of Refurbishment projects across the Early Pregnancy Units and Labour Wards and Day Assessment Units to date to ensure that parents can spend time with their baby or babies in a dignified, gentle and precious way before heartbreakingly saying goodbye. "We truly cannot thank you enough for creating such a safe, well equipped space for us to say hello and goodbye to our beautiful baby boys" We base our Charity on heartfelt, compassionate experiences to educate and raise awareness of loss for Parents & Siblings. Working closely with Healthcare professionals to ensure your voices are heard and your babies are honoured. We have a range of Resources, a Library, Information Packs and Bereavement Support Programmes available to support funded counselling. Our online Support Groups have allowed a dedicated space for Parents to explore their feelings, thoughts and share their grief journey with others. "This group has been a real lifeline for me during some of the hardest days of my life"

Story

On the 25th of April 2017 my sister gave birth to Theo, who was born an angel and taken from us before his life could begin.

My sister and her husband received support from the amazing Oscar’s Wish Foundation (OWF). They provide comfort and support to parents and siblings following the loss of a baby or babies before, during or shortly after birth. They provide counselling, networks for bereaved parents to interact, online support and much more. Therefore, I will be running the Brighton marathon on the 6th of April in memory of my beautiful nephew, Theo, and to raise money for this fantastic charity.

I only got to hold Theo for a short while, but I will hold him in my heart for a lifetime. I will never forget his beautiful little face, and that’s why I want to run in memory of him.

If you can donate towards this amazing cause I would be so grateful. Oscar's Wish Foundation work so hard to ensure every family in the area gets the support they need when the unimaginable happens to their family.

Thank you!

Aaron
