Eight years ago, our lives changed forever when our beautiful little boy, Freddie, was born sleeping at 36 weeks.

In the darkest time of our lives, we were incredibly grateful for the support of our amazing counsellor through Petals. Her compassion, guidance and understanding helped us navigate the unimaginable and gave us the support we so desperately needed.

A few years ago, so many of you generously supported us as we took on fundraising challenges for Petals. We will always be grateful for your kindness.

This year, I have joined Petals 15 for 15 challenge and will walk 15 miles a week throughout August to celebrate 15 years of Petals.

Fifteen years of giving parents hope after baby loss. Of creating space to talk openly and be heard. Of making sense of the unimaginable. Of finding the strength to try again, and the courage to move forward. This anniversary challenge will help Petals be there for the next parent who needs them.
