Story

After a four year journey trying to conceive, Hope, died in Jo's womb before entering the world at 41 weeks and 4 days. Hope was born on 5th September 2020, weighing 7lb 10.5ozs. He was his dad's double and perfect in every way.  We cannot understand why this happened. Never mind us, we are so sad that he will never have the chance to live his life. Life is so fragile and it is such a waste.

As a family we are doing various challenges so that Hope is never forgotten and to raise funds to help the charities who supported us through the most difficult time of our lives.

We want to raise awareness of stillbirths and particularly lobby change for IVF pregnancies, reducing the maximum gestation period when the date of conception is known.

Held in our Hearts are a local charity providing baby loss counselling and support to families.

Please help us raise as much money as we possibly can for charities which will forever be close to our hearts.
