Family Fun Day for Ronald McDonald House - CANCELLED
Event description
Bring the family for a fun filled day out and help raise money for a wonderful charity and bring awareness to pregnancy and infant loss. With face painting, balloon twisting, jumping castles, petting zoo, famous characters, live music, raffles and food vans to keep you entertained...The whole family will be sure to leave with big smiles on their faces!
In 2018 we had a little girl Havana that was stillborn at 30wks. Through the grief and heartache we went through and still continue to go through we aim to provide awareness about Pregnancy and Infant Loss. To also help other families that have and will sadly go through the pain we did. Each year in October (Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month) we choose a charity to donate money to, a charity that is close to our hearts and that helps families in times of need. In 2019 we raised enough money to purchase a cuddle cot in honour of our daughter Havana and donated that to The John Hunter Hospital where we gave birth to her. In 2020 we donated almost $9000 from our family business to Red Nose and Sands Australia and this year we have chose Ronald McDonald House Newcastle.
1 in 6 pregnancies will sadly end up as a miscarriage or stillborn, the numbers are outstanding and whilst they are so high, you can feel so alone when in this state of grief. By talking about what we went through and how we endeavour to continue helping other families in legacy of Havana this helps us move forward. By losing our little girl this has helped us gain a purpose in life which otherwise we would have never done.
This fundraiser is to create awareness but to also raise money for a wonderful charity that helps so many families out. We truly hope you can be apart of this day and if you can't please know we can also accept donations for RMHC.
