Story

Hi everyone, on the 20th February 2023 my beautiful daughter Sophie gave birth to my gorgeous grandson George, unfortunately he was stillborn. This obviously broke all our hearts. Abigails footsteps kindly let Sophie use one of their cooling cots for a few days so her & her fiance Ethan was able to spend some precious time with their son. Without the cooling cot they would have only been able to spend a few hours with him. Sadly, there are many hospitals in England Without a Abi Cooling cot so many parents are not able to spend much time with their stillborn newborns  I decided back in March that I would take up running & apply for the London marathon which I still can't believe I've been accepted for. I would love to raise £2800 so I can get a Abi Cooling cot made for a hospital that doesn't have one, in George's memory. Please can everyone help me raise this money, no matter how small the donation I will be so grateful. My training is going well, I'm running 3 times a week. This will be mine & my families wish to get a Abi cooling cot made. This charity is only small but they make a huge difference to so many peoples lives. Thank you so much for reading xx
