I'm taking on 3km a day throughout August

Fundraising to help families that have lost babies. remembering baby Sunflower.

The loss of our beautiful baby Sunny, Sunflower named by her big sister Freya is the hardest heartbreak we have ever had to endure. It has shattered every single aspect of our lives. 
We have been using the support services of Rednose, their “hospital to home” program, peer support groups, helpline, and counselling services, these services have been so amazing to be held by volunteers and professionals that understand the grief of losing a baby and are there to support us and hold space for our babies while we navigate shock and grief, also as a space to meet with other parents that understand the same pain. Just knowing there are people through Rednose to talk to, call or ask for advice has been really good as we have had to navigate something no one ever wants to. That’s what this fundraising is for, to help with the funds that provide these services. 

In August people are fundraising by walking 3km a day. In August we will be in Netherlands for half of it…. So can walk our daily 3km in the sunshine and past sunflowers, fitting for our Sunflower baby. (The plane ride home no walking will occur) then at home we will be able to walk through the bush and by the river I go to remember Sunny. 

Feel free to donate if you want, or even simply go for a walk in nature with the intention of remembering Sunny. Sometimes we listen to “you are my sunshine” or “the lost words blessing” to think of her, or simply the sounds of nature.
