Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 1st December 2013 I lost my granddaughter Chloe Alice to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. It was heartbreaking. We had been looking forward to Christmas and suddenly she was gone.

Chloe had not long started giggling and was full of smiles. She had two loving parents and a big brother, who was as excited as any toddler could have been to have a baby sister.

On 30th November they bathed Chloe and put her to bed. Chloe woke up for a feed at around 3am. When they woke up at 6:45 she had passed away. It happens that quickly! She had shown no signs of illness and they had taken all the necessary precausions that parents are usually advised of. There was no reason to be found to explain why Chloe had passed away.

There are over 300 babies and toddlers that still die every year of SIDS in the UK. The Lullaby Trust is working with the NHS to promote safer baby sleep as well as offering specialist support for bereaved families. They are also committed to supporting research to understand why babies die suddenly and unexpectedly.

This is why I am raising funds for The Lullaby Trust.

If you are a parent, grandparent or a parent to be, please take the time to visit The Lullaby Trust website and read their advice on how to keep your baby or toddler safe.

Thank you so much for your support :-) xx
