Halifax mum walks 16 miles to Leeds Bradford Airport for charity
The Foundation was set up by Gaynor and her partner Ben Moorhouse after the devastating stillbirth of their daughter Kallipateira at Calderdale Royal Hospital.
The new charity supports parents who have experienced the death of a baby and also helps to save lives as Professor Alexander Heazell and his teams at the Tommy’s Rainbow Clinic and Research Centre in Manchester are the charity’s main beneficiary.

“Apollon was very well behaved and does love being outside so his big sister will be so proud of him.
“To push a stroller 16 miles was certainly not easy but I am very proud we did this.
“As a new charity, and to be able to function and support the people we do, we do need the public to please start supporting us like any other charity with donations or setting up your own fundraising events or ideas.”
