Walk and fundraise in memory of your loved one
By taking part in Moonlight Memory Walk and fundraising in memory of your loved one, you’ll be raising vital funds for families like Rhiannon’s
Rhiannon and her family were supported by Little Bridge House at the end of Fred's life
My son Fred passed away at 2 months old as, at birth, his brain was starved of oxygen, causing a significant brain injury and severe epilepsy. Little Bridge House provided hospice care for him, taking care of Fred during his end of life, and made a horrific situation as good as it could be. We are forever grateful for the memories we made, and the kindness shown to us.
Rhiannon, Fred’s mum
