This October, I will be running the Dublin Marathon in memory of our son Naoise and in aid of a charity very close to my heart, Féileacáin 🦋. Naoise was born sleeping on March 16th 2025. His short life was surrounded by love. We’ve held onto every precious moment & memory we got to share with Naoise. Féileacáin played a huge part in helping us create & cherish those memories. The thoughtful memory box now holds a special place in our home. Féileacáin is close to mine, my wife Dee's, our families and many other hearts, and I’d be very grateful if you could join me in making a difference by supporting Féileacáin. Féileacáin is an incredible charity that provides vital support to families affected by the loss of a baby. Féileacáin was formed by a group of bereaved parents to offer support to anyone affected by the death of a baby around the time of birth. The charity is a volunteer-led organisation that receives no funding from the government, relying entirely on the generosity of its community and the families it supports.Féileacáin provide personal, emotional, and practical support to bereaved parents and families, including Memory Making, counselling, befriending services, support meetings, and Services of Remembrance. Every donation, no matter how small, helps Feileacain continue their incredible work. Every little bit makes a huge difference. Thank you all. Steve and Dee 🦋
