In memory of our son, Benjamin🤍

Benjamin was born sleeping at 22 weeks and 4 days.

Because of the CoolingCot, made possible through Abigail’s Footsteps, we were given something beyond words — time.

Time to hold our baby boy.

Time to be his parents.

Time to make memories we will hold in our hearts forever.

Time to say goodbye with love and dignity.

That time meant everything to us.

Each Abigail Cooling Cot costs around £3,000 to make, deliver, and maintain,

and the Northumbria Specialist Emergency Hospital is in urgent need of another one.

We hope that no parent ever has to need a cooling cot, but heartbreakingly, this loss is more common than many people realise.

By fundraising in Benjamin’s memory, we hope to help ensure that when families face the unimaginable, they are given the same precious gift of time that we were.

Thank you for helping us honour our beautiful son.

Benjamin will always be loved.

Always remembered.

With love,

Ash and Rhys
