In memory of Ziggy - Fundraising for Hummingbird House
On Tuesday 6th of Feb, we lost our beautiful boy Ziggy, born sleeping at 11:11.
We’re grateful to everyone who shared the joy of his life during Christie’s pregnancy, and equally touched by all those who now share this heartbreak and grief.
We see you, and we are here for you too.
In the midst of this tragedy, we were so generously supported by you, our friends & family, as well as the amazing people at Mater Mothers and Hummingbird House.
When we transferred to Hummingbird House, we spent the most precious week of our lives with Zig. Laura was able to create big sister memories with her little brother. She was able to hold him, to care for him, to watch movies with him. We painted together, made prints of his hands & feet, bathed him and sung him songs. The grief we felt and continue to feel is there, but without Hummingbird House, we may not have had the chance to also fill our hearts with such fond memories. Despite the sorrow, space was made to fill our hearts with love for our little guy… to laugh together as a family of four.
Right now, words fail us for just how incredible these people truly are. The impact they had on our lives feels immeasurable. As such, if you have the capacity to give, in lieu of flowers or gifts, we kindly ask that you consider a donation to Hummingbird House.
Hummingbird House is the only Children’s Hospice in Queensland. Sadly, we have witnessed & experienced first hand the lengths this organisation and it's team go to, to care for and support children & their families. Every single one of the team, from nurses, midwives, therapists & doctors, to chefs, family support workers, cooks, housekeepers & volunteers, work so unbelievably hard to support children & families.
We also appreciate that those of you in our lives are already the types of people that donate your time and/or money to the causes that matter most to you & your families. If that’s the case, please consider Hummingbird next time you’re looking to make a contribution in memory of our little guy, Ziggy.
Thank you to my Sponsors

To all those who partied with a purpose in honour of our beautiful little man, Ziggy (whether in person on the night, or there in spirit) thank you! We love & appreciate you. Between the donations you made directly to this page for the party, and the cash you chipped in on Saturday night (the figure above), you helped raise more than $3,000 for the kids & families & Hummingbird House. And a massive thanks to Chris & Lauren for opening your home to us & everyone else to make this happen, and to all those who chipped in massive prizes like surfboards, fine dining experiences, day spa vouchers, helicopter rides and lucky dips, you are amazing.
