Story

For those that don't know our daughter Ellie was seriously ill last summer which resulted in the passing of our Grandson Max Arthur Godolphin. Since then Abigails Footsteps have helped Ellie and Ryan work their way through one of the most horendous experiences any parent can go through - losing a child.

As a way of puting a little bit back so that Abigail's Footsteps can help more people in a similar situation I am riding 100 miles around London and Essex in the Ride london 100.

Since 2010, Abigail's Footsteps have worked to improve the way bereaved parents are cared for by hospitals and to better educate midwives on how to care for grieving parents.

Abigail's Footsteps also help by creating sympathetic space for parents in hospitals, to providing much needed equipment for parents to spend longer with their babies whilst also offering specialist baby loss counselling sessions.

Please help us raise vital funds so we can continue to support bereaved families.

Thank you.
