Just got a lovely request to help referee a game in August. Now, I’m officially retired however, I’ve just read what this lads put from his Just Giving Page. Brought a tear to my eye, how can I possibly turn it down!!!
My story
I have set up this page in memory of my beautiful wife Heidi and daughter Isabella. Sadly my wife was taken Ill while 39 weeks pregnant, unfortunately she stopped breathing when we arrived at hospital. My daughter was born by emergency C section while they tried to save Heidi. Sadly Heidi passed away. I named my daughter Isabella but due to Heidi's illness she had been starved of oxygen and I was told she wouldn't make it through the night. After being removed from life support she battled on for 8 more hours giving me chance to completely fall in love with her. Sadly at just 15 hours old she passed away.
I got to spend the rest of the day with Isabella with a machine called s cuddle cot which allows grieving parents chance to bond with there baby for up to 72 hours after death or still birth.
They are £1,600 each. Our aim is to donate one to Sheffield Hospital and if we raise enough to donate one to Solihull hospital where Heidi was born.
