Malvern end to end challenge on Cobies 3rd Birthday

Sunday 10th July 2022 we had the worst news any mother and father could ever hear. We had just walked into Good Hope hospital feeling really excited about to welcome our baby into the world. Then we had the heart wrenching news of ‘I’m so sorry your baby’s heart has stopped beating.’ Our world stopped at that very moment. Our precious little boy was no longer here with us. A journey no one should ever have to endure.

On Tuesday 12th July 2022 the most precious special little boy was born and weighed 7lb 2oz. We named him Cobie William Fumarola. Who was born at 38 weeks and 4 days.

We walked into the hospital with all the things to bring our baby home. We walked out the hospital with a white box. A white box which holds and represents the most heart wrenching time of our life. The most materialistic precious thing we own as a family. The box was provided by the amazing charity Lily Mae Charity. This charity provides support for bereaved families. This charity have become part of our life and we are forever grateful of all the special things they do to provide support for Myself, Sam, Carter and our families.

We want to give back to them and show some appreciation to the amazing charity and all they do for parents like ourselves.

On Saturday 12th July 2025 - Cobies 3rd Birthday myself, Sam, Sara and Pete are all taking on the Malvern end to end challenge with the charity.
