Since that date we have been so amazed and inspired by her courage and strength in keeping her son’s memory alive. She has held fundraising events in his name, through which she has donated over £2500 to sands, the stillbirth and neo natal death charity in order to help other families who find themselves where she and her partner found themselves on that day. Kirsti has recently returned to work at our daughter’s nursery and we wanted to do something in his memory to show her that we all support her and think of him too. We are by no means capable of running a marathon or doing a sky dive so what we arranged was a 3 month charity weight loss event. The event began on the 29th of January and will run right up until Alfie-Joe’s 1st birthday in heaven and we are really hoping to raise at least £2000 to make that little boy proud. To commemorate his Birthday and also the end of our weight loss journey’s we are holding a charity auction night to help raise more vital funds for sands. This will take place on the 5th of May and we are relying on charitable donations for our auction lots. Would you possibly be able to donate something to our cause? Anything you are able to offer will be gratefully received. Please support our wonderful cause and help other parents who find themselves in this heartbreaking situation Thank you so much for your time, Nic Grierson
