This August, she should be turning five. Instead of celebrating her birthday with cake and candles as we should be, Simon and I will be embarking on the 14km City2Surf fun run in Sydney, Australia to help raise funds for the Stillbirth Foundation, an organisation that we have supported since Hope died.
Our renewed health and fitness has helped us so much in the last 12 months, both mentally and physically and in particular with our grief as we continue to come to terms with Hope's death.
This is a life long path of healing, and by taking part in the City2Surf, we hope to raise vital funds for this silent killer of our precious babies.
Our fundraising target is $2206 - which represents one dollar for every baby stillborn in Australia each year, according to latest statistics. That's about six babies a day - six too many. If that figure shocks you, don't worry it shocked us too. We need to change this.
Every dollar counts, so if you can support us in any way, even just a $10 donaction, we'd be greatly appreciative.
Thank you.
Sally & Simon
