What the petition asks
Globally the 15th of October is recognised as the day of rememberence for baby and infant loss. We would like the 15th of October to be a day that is recognised in the UK as The Pregnancy and Infant Rememberence Day.
Please help us achieve our goal of making the 15th of October recognised as The Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day.
A day we remember the babies who were born asleep, the babies whom we carried but never met, the babies we have held but could not take home,and the babies who made it home, but didn’t stay.
