Story

SSNAP support sick newborn, their parents and those that care for them; by providing emotional, medical, financial and informational support.

Finnley was born on 29/01/2010. He was born 12 weeks premature. He was a resident of the NICU in Oxford for 18 weeks. He never came home. He couldn’t fight an infection and passed away.

So far, in Finnley’s memory we have raised £120,000 for SSNAP.

As he would have been 15 this year we would like to raise some more funds in his memory.

This year marks what would have been Finnleys 15th birthday.

To mark the milestone, celebrate his memory and continue our fundraising in his name. We would like all of our Family, friends, colleagues past and present to do something relating to Fifteen.

Have a cake sale and bake 15 cakes? Sponsored read of 15 books? Maybe a sporting challenge related to 15?

Failing any of that you could Join team Froude for a 15km walk around Banbury in June 25. We hope to start and finish in people’s park. The final route and date is still to be confirmed - watch this space!

If you can’t take part maybe you could donate whatever you can afford

Thanks for everyone’s support over the last 15 years. It’s a journey we never wanted to take. Losing our little boy was and still is the hardest thing. His memory continues to live on and that helps us heal - thank you 🙏🏻

Love you always little man 🤍

Mummy, Daddy and Henry 💙🩷🩵

About the charity

SSNAP

Verified by JustGiving

RCN 1146622
In the UK, 1 in 10 babies need specialist care at birth. SSNAP supports sick & premature babies and their families in the Newborn Care Unit at the John Radcliffe Hospital. Imagine your newborn baby needing specialist care at birth. Instead of those very special days getting to know your baby as a family, you’re catapulted into an unfamiliar world of incubators, wires, medical tests and interventions. While your baby has specialist treatment, we provide emotional and practical support to help you through the trauma & upheaval. We’re there to help families cope, and provide state-of-the-art medical equipment and nursing expertise that could save babies lives.
