Shóna's Skydive for The Lily Mae Foundation

Tax deductible
I'm Shona and I am raising money for The Lily Mae Foundation a charity very close to my heart. I have chosen this charity as my son was stillborn on the 9th of July 2017 at 27 weeks. Everything was fine until 20 week scan where I was told there were multiple problems. We named him Leo and he was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. We eventually found out our little boy had a heart defect, and due to my placenta failing he wasn't getting the nutrients he needed. Whilst at the hospital I was given a memory box full of keepsakes of Leo including hand/foot prints, photographs. Moments like this are so overwhelming and emotional that without the Lily Mae Foundation I would never have got my memory box. The money raised will go towards supplying memory boxes, help and support for bereaved parents, and research into medical conditions causing stillbirths and improvements to neonatal care, to see more please visit their website; Thank you all for taking the time to read my story and I hope you can donate as little or as much as you can. It goes to helping so many other families at a time that is so hard yet so prescious.  I never thought I would be the one to even worry about loosing my baby but I did, and since that I lost Leo I have heard of so many more people.  I need a minimum of £500 to enter and the date is to be confirmed.  More information about The Lily Mae Foundation: The Lily Mae Foundation provides help and support to Parents and Families that have been affected by the death of a baby though Stillbirth or Neonatal Death.
