👼🏼 MAGGIE’S LEGACY IS IN MALLORCA 👼🏼
On Friday I donated a Cuddle Cot & 20 memory boxes to Manacor hospital.
THIS IS THE ONLY CUDDLE COT ON THE WHOLE ISLAND!
As you know my dad, step mum, sister & niece live in Mallorca and when Maggie died they were able to meet her due to Burnley hospital having a cuddle cot!!
We got to spend 3 days with our beautiful little angel & made as many memories as we could, memories that have to last us a lifetime 💜I found out that when a baby is stillborn in Mallorca, parents only get an extremely short time to make memories with them I then KNEW I HAD to get a cuddle cot there!
Now they can spend time, make memories & families will have time to fly over and meet baby if they are from mainland or abroad. Just like my family did 🥹
It’s taken a VERY LONG time & a lot of obstacles along the way, but we did it 😍
It’s been a long and extremely emotional week 💜
Myself & my family spent days making memory boxes, translating Spanish to English & English to Spanish, providing training to the hospital and all the staff on how to use the cot, signing so much paperwork it’s unreal!
I don’t think I’ve ever been to Mallorca and not sunbathed 😂
My dad, step mum Katy & sister Joana have been so amazing helping me to get the cot to Mallorca, translating, helping me make all the boxes etc. They held me up when I was heartbroken even though they were too 💔
I would like to put a massive THANK YOU on here to MIKE PETIGREW who PAID for my flight and the cuddle cot to go to Mallorca!
Mike is such an amazing guy and to do this for Maggie’s legacy means the world to Mark & I.

Today after months of meetings and a lot of personal learning on my part,
I provided bereavement training at
LANCASHIRE CONSTABULARY HEADQUARTERS to DCI’s, DI’s and DS’s.
I have worked alongside Keely from Child Protection to offer this training & support and I’m so proud to be able to be a voice for all my angels mummies & families.
Keely is amazing and is so passionate about what she does as well as helping bereaved families as much as possible.
I feel so lucky to have her helping me understand more about what happens “legally” when a baby/child dies.
Her knowledge will help me support my families even more, as I can now answer the questions they have thoroughly.
I don’t think I’ve ever been so nervous!
But also so proud!
It was a very mixed bag of emotions for me today & I was angry at myself for getting emotional 💔
It’s hard not to when I’m speaking about Maggie & why I do what I do 👼🏼
However, the feedback I received was amazing and I feel so proud to be apart of the training around the sudden death of a baby/child & ways to possibly improve & keep doing what these officers are doing!!
Thank you to my angel mummies who provided me with feedback that I could use today, you guys are my warriors and I’m so proud of each one of you for your honest & open messages 😘
Thank you to Mark for having to constantly listen to my “practice runs” of what I wanted to talk about, only to change it, read it again and then change it back 😂
Monday 15th May 2023
I was presented with my certificate today, by the lovely Philip, and I couldn’t be prouder!!
My beautiful Maggie’s memory is going to live on as long as I have breath in my body! 💜👼🏼
………….
Thank you to everyone who nominated me 😘
But a massive thank you to Marky whose nomination they saw first as he wrote “I’m extremely proud of my wife” 🥹

Today Maggies Stillbirth Legacy made a donation to Royal Blackburn Hospital of:
22 Holy Bibles
10 Illustrated Children’s Bibles
10 Good News Bibles
& copies of The Quran
20 of these bibles were paid for by Nana Pearl 2 months before she died, and 8 were donated by Lucy, the Rose Queen of St Aiden’s Church, Blackburn. These will be used in both Blackburn and Burnley hospital until the new chapel is completed at Burnley
This has been a very emotional day for me, seeing the wonderful Jim Lougheed who did Maggies Naming Ceremony when she was born in Burnley in 2015, and seeing Maggies name in the baby memorial book.
With me today was my baby brother, John. And I rest knowing that Maggie is in the arms of my Grandma and Nana Pearl until her Mummy joins her.

Sarah has won another award! This time she has been selected for the Point of Light award, given by the Prime Minister, for raising over £60,000 for the Cuddle Cots project in Maggies name.
Sarah’s award comes during National Grief Awareness week, the annual campaign to raise awareness of the impact of grief and highlight the work of bereavement support services like Maggies Stillbirth Legacy.
Sarah said, “I am honoured and humbled to receive a Point of Light award. All I want to do is help others in Maggies name to keep her memory alive, so this really does mean so much to me.”

I am proud and humbled to tell you all that today we donated Cuddle Cot number 18!! 18!!!!!
This cot went to Lancashire Women and Newborn Centre in Burnley and will be used not only for the birthing suite but also the NICU. As you all know these cuddle cots enable families to take their babies home so that they can spend a few more days with their angels and create precious memories.
We also donated over £300 of Purple Hearts. These are amazing heartbeat recorders and will be used for the Fetal Medicine Clinic so that parents who find out the devastating news that their baby will not survive can record their heartbeat.
Thank you for all you support to enable us to make this a reality!

After meeting the other nominees at the Pride of Britain awards we have decided to make donations to as many causes as possible. Find out about the others that work tirelessly to raise money across the North of England!
£100 to Katy Jordan. This will buy 100 selection boxes for disadvantaged children, poorly children and children with disabilities in Teesside. They will be delivered by Santa in December to local schools in areas of higher depravation, Children’s wards, Community groups, Children’s homes, Family hostels and Children’s hospices. This will benefit families who face Christmas with very little.
£100 to Mark and his Walking Home for Christmas appeal. Mark was shot through the neck whilst on duty and has since fundraised tirelessly for the armed forces.
£100 to George Kavanagh raising money for St Georges Hospice Grimsby, the hospice that took care of his Dad before he died.
£100 to Donna Varley who fundraises for Martin House Hospice in Leeds. Donnas son, Kaison, grew his angel wings last year. The money she is currently raising goes to buy 120 selection boxes for the hospice so all children who will be having respite there can enjoy a treat along with their families.
Thank you for continuing to support us and allow us to support others.

This was donated along with 12 Follow On Memory Boxes and a specialist Moses basket & stand to Talbot Funeral Directors in Roe Lee, Blackburn. Also donated were Angel Gowns, Blankets and Pockets of Love – all made by Jill Moz in memory of her son Christopher.
This is where the head of our family, Grandpa Riley, went on his final journey. So I was very honoured to go and donate in such a positive way.
It was lovely to see Sarah again, who works there, and to share some stories of angel babies & families. This will mean so so much to the families who get to use this cuddle cot to create ever lasting memories that they can treasure forever.
As always, thank you to all for your continued support in helping us to achieve this!

Today Maggie’s Stillbirth Legacy has donated £100 to Tracey James for a hut she is having made in memory of her daughter CASEY.
“As many of you know I lost 2 of my children due to neonatal deaths. Also, all the way through lockdown, I have scoured and donated lots of food and things for the home for families in need. I can only do this weather permitting, so I would like to get a hut to keep things dry and still give to the community. I want to name it Caseys so that people will remember her and come to her house . . so I can keep my Caseys memory alive.”
An amazing lady who does nothing but help others!!!

TODAY WAS A MASSIVE DAY FOR ME!!!!
Today I donated cuddle cot number 14, and a wipe clean Moses basket & stand to Lancashire Women and Newborn centre in MAGGIE PEARL PARSONS MEMORY.
As you all know our beautiful, perfect Maggie was born sleeping at term here in the butterfly room on 30th June 2015.
Today I entered the Butterfly room with our donation and I wasn’t filled with heartache and fear and sadness. I was filled with over whelming PRIDE!!! This is THE FIRST TIME I have ever felt this feeling in the 5 and a half years we have been fundraising!
It was made so much more amazing in my eyes that Maria Elizabeth, a fantastic lady and now life long friend who did all my training every week for my birthing plan, was there. And so was the amazing Caroline Dolman, who passed me Maggie in theatre when she was born by caesarean, and has been and still is my rock and one of my best mates ever there was.
It was an absolute honour and privilege to do this donation today as it’s what I wanted to do from the moment I had Maggie.
Knowing that families, who do not want to stay at the birthing centre in the bereavement rooms, who want to take their babies home with them until their final farewell, can now do so makes me feel so humble and honoured.
Thank you to the bereavement midwife Kathryn for letting us donate this. It honestly means the world to me.
Thank you to you all for your support – even through the awful year we’ve had in 2020. I could not do any of this without you all.
Wednesday 2nd December, 2020
Today Maggie’s Stillbirth Legacy donated/re-stocked 12 Follow On memory boxes to ALTY’S FUNERAL SERVICE BLACKBURN.
