My story

This year Evelyn’s Big Brother Noah and Little Brother Henry will be raising money in her name by taking part in Splashathon. This will be Noah’s second Splashathon and Henry’s first.

Henry was never lucky enough to meet his sister Evelyn, who was born at 33 weeks and sadly died after 5 hours with us, in January 2024. I’m sure he will have questions of his own when he is able to understand.

Noah’s awareness grows as he does, but, he still asks ‘are the Dr’s going to make Evelyn all better so she can come home’, unfortunately not darling boy.

Not only did we lose a daughter but the boys lost their sister, they will forever live with this devastating loss and learn carry her with them in their hearts for their entire lives.

Our aim is to help in whatever way possible to save families the constant and complex heartache that comes with losing a child.

We want the boys to have positive memories surrounding the loss of their sister and Splashathon is so meaningful to us to allow this to be in a fun way for them!

We are going to complete a set of very tricky swimming challenges on a quest to find pieces of eight, parrots and buried treasure in my Water Babies class. This years theme is sea creatures, mermaids or pirates so we have matchy matchy friendly shark outfits. When wet these will be pretty heavy, so it’s an extra difficult swim.

Please, please sponsor us and together we can raise funds for Tommy's and the Children’s Alliance to help ensure a better, brighter future for all children.
