Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am holding my Baby Loss Awareness Remembrance Ribbon Display during Baby Loss Awareness Week 9-15 October 2022.

Now in it's fourth year and a great success xx I am holding it along Clacton on Sea Seafront along the Memorial Garden Railings again this year, I am extremely proud of the beautiful Ribbon Display.

Thank you to everyone that knitted/crochet the Pink, Blue and White Ribbons and Teddies, they are all beautiful. 

I will be adding the pink, blue and white ribbons again this year with baby name(s) - I will let you all know about this and start getting names and ribbon colour a little nearer the date of Baby Loss Awareness Week and I will add the ribbons to the display for everyone, exactly the same as last year xx

It was such a lovely success last year with over 100 companies/businesses sponsoring a little knitted teddy that I am again asking if any companies/businesses, no matter how big or small would like to support my Baby Loss Awareness Remembrance Ribbon Display by sponsoring a Teddy for a suggested donation of £5 - the Teddy will then be added to the display with a small tag attached with the name of the sponsor, Teddy will stay on the display from 9-15 October xx - please send me a message via facebook or email maria.gormley@sands.org.uk and make your kind donation on this page xx

Also this year if anyone would like a little teddy in pink, blue or white for their memory box or as a keepsake for a small suggested donation of £2 please do let me know - each teddy is unique, no two are the same, all handmade with love xx please send me a message via facebook or email maria.gormley@sands.org.uk and make your kind donation on this page xx **Please note that the teddy will not be sent out until beginning of October in time for Baby Loss Awareness Week 9-15 October**

Thank you all so very much for your lovely support as always, I am so grateful and for those of you that know me you will know how much this means to me xx

My darling Laura, If I had a Star for every time I thought of you, I would be holding the night sky in my hand xxxx
