Story

I am going to be abseiling 100meters down the spinnaker tower to raise money for The Skye High Foundation. Every penny raised will support families worldwide The Skye High Foundation provides support to families during and after the loss of a baby from a multiple pregnancy, as well as providing education for health care professionals. In conjunction with the neonatal research team from Newcastle University we created and now distribute the purple butterfly cot cards. The butterfly symbolises the baby or babies who did not survive and is now used internationally on the cot of any surviving babies, as well as a symbol on medical notes or records. The Skye High Foundation creates and distributes resource packs to hospitals containing cot cards, posters and information leaflets. Feedback from families and professionals show these resources are highly valued and allow families to make others aware of their loss and their journey.
