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 2023.

This year is a special year as its the fifth year of holding the beautiful Ribbon Display here in Clacton on Sea. 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, Teddies and this year the lovely hearts that will be added to each ribbon to celebrate the fifth year of the ribbon display, 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

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
