Emma, John and Jacob

Sunday 22nd June 2025

On the 22nd June, I, with others will be walking a special route for my two friends Emma and John to raise money to fund their IVF journey.

Emma and John have had to live through the unbelievable tragedy of saying goodbye to 3 very precious babies - Esmae, Ellie and most recently Elliot. Jacob is desperate to be a big brother.

Unfortunately Emma and John's babies are always potentially affected by deadly genetic illnesses called CHAOS syndrome and Fraser Syndrome. A quick Google will tell you how awful these conditions are and how they are a death sentence for their precious babies.

The only way to ensure any future babies do not have this terrible condition is to pay for private IVF - which would include a scientific test to pick up the problematic genes and avoid using them during the IVF process. This would guarantee they won't have this genetic problem and will avoid so much pain and suffering.

As the NHS won't fund this Emma and John are facing a massive financial commitment to fund it themselves.

As we all know they are both good and caring people. They have raised thousands of pounds for the hospital's Baby Bereavement fund in Esmae, Ellie and Elliots name which has supported many other families who have had the heartbreakingly say goodbye to their babies.

Can you sponsor us to walk the route below? This route incorporates the final journeys of Esmae, Ellie and Elliot from th Waggon and Horses to Russell's Hall, who have supported Emma and John throughout the difficult times and Gornal Wood crem. We will then walk back to the wagon.

Please donate what you can and every little bit will help Emma, John and Jacob

Thank you
