Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Charlie was born 9 weeks premature via emergency caesarean, he only managed to survive six hours. It turned out he had Strep B. Not many people have heard of what Strep B is or realise how serious this infection can be.  It is extremely unusual for babies to die prior to delivery who have Strep B, unfortunately for us, Charlie was one of those few.

I decided to do something for Charlie to keep his memory alive and to make more people more aware of the danger Strep B can be, it's the most horrendous thing that we have had to go through and still living with & we would not like other families to go through the same.

The charity does not receive any government funding and rely on donations/events like this. If I had of known more on Strep B things could have been different and my Charlie could have been here today. 

Please donate in memory of Charlie.  Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
