Alice and Sandro

Parent Ambassadors for Millie Wright Children’s Charity 
 

When our beautiful son, Raphael, became unwell in 2023 and died just 6 weeks after his birth, our world was forever altered. We will never forget the kindness we were shown by the wonderful people we met in Raphael's short life. Likewise, Raphael touched many hearts and he paved the way for numerous positive changes at hospitals in Leeds, Harrogate and beyond.

Although the Millie Wright Children's Charity was still in its infancy during our time in Leeds, one of Raphael's brilliant nurses mentioned it and upon carrying out some research ourselves, we found that the charity's vision (for every family supporting a child with a life threatening or medically complex condition to receive hands-on charitable support) immediately struck a chord with us personally, strongly aligning with our own principles around fairness and compassion.

Furthermore, we can confirm that the charity's core values of equality, courage, individuality and transparency make a great deal of sense having followed Ceri and Nigel's footsteps in experiencing the devastating loss of a child. Every single family deserves to have access to help and support, despite any differences in their child's status or diagnosis.

​

A note from Ceri and Nigel:

 

"Alice and Sandro have been incredible supporters of the charity and we look forward to working together with them as our Parent Ambassadors.

 

The Millie Wright Children's Charity are delighted to collaborate with The Starlit Way, which Alice and Sandro set up, to offer bereavement support to families."
