Alex’s charity is a true inspiration

How inspirational of her to start up a charity in his memory. To help provide heart monitors and training in CPR is courageous and very positive, especially at this time when her pain is so excruciating.

It is a parent’s worst nightmare to find their apparently happy and healthy child dead in such a manner and for no apparent reason.

Sudden infant death has been researched for years and I understand, reading reports on the subject, that there is not just one reason for this to happen but several factors combined, which causes the child to just stop breathing. Knowing the reason would be an enormous comfort to any parent who has suffered.

We can only thank the Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths for continuing with research year after year to find out why this happens and to thank people like Alex for starting up charities such as Olly’s Rainbow.

I hope, sincerely, that she gets the charity status and support for this so worthwhile lasting tribute to her dear little boy Olly.
