I have created this fundraising page because I truly believe in the incredible work that Red Nose does to fund research, support families, and help save little lives.

Red Nose Day has been around for over 30 years and the funds raised in that time led to the creation of the Safe Sleep Program, which has reduced the rate of SIDS in Australia by an incredible 80%! But there is still so much work to do and so many bereaved parents and families that rely on their support. So please help support my fundraiser by making a donation and you could help discover the next breakthrough in the fight against SIDS, stillbirth, and miscarriage. 

Every dollar raised also helps keep Red Nose support services free and open 24/7 for grieving parents and families. Any amount, big or small has such a profound effect on the lives of thousands of Australian families. Every single cent makes a huge difference. 

So please, dig deep this Red Nose Day and together we can all make a real difference.

As a bereaved mother myself, I know all too well the heartache, pain, sorrow and disbelief of losing a child.

No one should have to go through the unimaginable horror of losing a child. But if they do, YOU can help make sure Red Nose is always there to support them.

Perhaps child loss is part of your own story? Or maybe you are one of the thousands of grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles and friends closely impacted by a devastating loss. 

At Red Nose, they have listened to so many stories from families and the tragedy of little lives cut short. They know how important it is to have someone there to help parents and family members through the darkest days of grief.

They're committed to providing first-class bereavement support to anyone impacted by the loss of a baby or child, for any reason and it’s thanks to us supporters, that Red Nose’s 24/7 Support Line, a free service, can continue to help parents and support them through their grief.

Every day in Australia, nine babies continue to die suddenly and unexpectedly. That’s nine little lives cut short. And nine families changed forever. Every single day!

Finding others who have experienced something similar can bring so much comfort to grieving families and those who can understand and listen without pity or judgement can really make all the difference.

Red Nose’s bereavement support services include a 24-hour Grief and Loss support line, peer support and one-on-one counselling. And thanks to your generosity, each is offered free of charge and for as long they needed. There are also services available to help parents return to work or even join support groups to help each other along their journey of grief.

Together, we can and will continue to:

End the agony~ By funding life changing research to uncover the reason why 3,200 children in Australia die suddenly and unexpectedly during pregnancy, infancy or childhood, every year.

Prevent the pain~ By turning our research findings into public health education campaigns that inform all Australian parents and help save little lives.

Heal the heartbreak~ By continuing to support every single person that has been impacted by the death of a child, through a range of free services that ensures they get the support they need.

From the very bottom of my heart, I want to thank each and every one of you for generously supporting Red Nose. Your support means so much to grieving families just like mine, at those times when they need it most.
