Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Steph and I are going to do a skydive in July in hope of raising funds for a cause very close to my families heart.

In what would be the year that we would celebrate our beloved son Declan's 30th birthday we wanted to find a way to mark this.

Declan was born in November 1994 and before he was born, we had no idea that he had any problems with his heart. He spent all of his extremely short life of 13 days in the special care baby unit in Simpsons, the care and support that we and our extended family received throughout our time in the special care unit was invaluable to us, having the time to spend with Declan and say our goodbyes in our own time was so special to us.

In helping us cherish his memory if you can, please help us in reaching our target which we hope will help other families who find themselves in a similar situation navigate the most difficult time in any parent's life.

Thank you from all the McKenna family x
