Story

We set up this Star Tribute Fund in memory of our little Rufus, to help raise funds for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at St Michaels Hospital in Bristol which fought so hard to help our baby boy - without the vital NICU equipment and their amazing expertise, he would not have lived for the 5 days that we were blessed to have him.

We continue to fundraise for Cots for Tots to give something back and support other babies, and their families, who find themselves in NICU when they arrive into the world. The Cots for Tots charity are there for families, providing free accommodation and support while their baby is in the unit, and ground-breaking equipment, medical facilities that help and save little lives.

We are incredibly proud that our early fundraising in 2011 in Rufus' memory (£10k) helped fund 'Cots for Tots House' the free accommodation for families which opened later that year.

We are always extremely grateful to receive any amount you can donate.

Huge thanks for your continued support and love for our little Rufus - Kevin and Sharon xx
