I have been through a neonatal loss in December at 22 weeks of pregnancy. Beatriz was alive for 1 hour and 25 minutes.
The memory box provided by Feileacain is the best memory parents could have. I can see her photos, handprints, very first clothes, lovely knitted blanket - and the teddy bear which was her very first toy that I'll keep forever! This box is most precious thing I have in my place.
Running has been a way to reconnect with my body and to think of Beatriz while helping me on the grieving process. I have cried so much while running, that I decided to run the Mini-Marathon as a way to honour Beatriz, spread the word about Feileacain, and to do some fundraising for them so they can keep on supporting other parents who are going through this tough time as well.

About the Cause
Féileacáin (Stillbirth & Neonatal Death Support)
Why the name FéileacáinA Butterfly lights besides us like a sunbeam …Many of the ancient civilizations believed that butterflies were symbols of the human soul, and in Irish mythology the butterflies, or ‘Féileacáin’, are said to be the spirits of the departed who return to visit their favorite place and their loved ones to reassure them that they are alright.
