I'm fundraising to pay it forward.

As many of you know, we never got to meet our little Maeve. What you may not know is that every day, nine babies and children are lost suddenly or unexpectedly in Australia.

Some families only get minutes or days with their precious little ones. Others never get to see their child take their first breath.

We have been so lucky to receive incredible support through our grief journey – that’s why I’m taking on the Red, Set, Go Challenge this August! Every little bit helps
 ❤️

Donate to my fundraiser now and you’ll help fund vital research that will save little lives – and provide counselling and support to families that have experienced the devastation of losing a precious baby or child.

I hope you’ll support me with a kind donation today, and help make the world a bright place for the little lives and their families that need it most.
