Music - REM ~ Everybody Hurts.

My name is Ian Florence & I am the proud Pappa to a beautiful angel called Georgina. Georgina died as a result of SIDS or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. You can see the 2 of us together at the top of this page Not A day passes that we don't think about her. With my 60th birthday approaching I wondered what I could do in memory of my beautiful granddaughter to help other families like mine and my daughter Nicki's. It was decided that I would shave my head and bead, and all monies raised would go to the charity that has supported my daughter since the day that Georgie flew to the angels.

 Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths
FSID is the UK's leading baby charity working to prevent sudden infant deaths, also known as cot death, and promote infant health - funding research, supporting bereaved families, providing information to the public and working with professionals to improve investigations when a baby dies.

Georgie left behind a heartbroken family - her mummy Nicki her big brother Bradley and her daddy - a year ago on the 17th of May Georgie's daddy Mal joined Georgie in heaven. Since Georgie flew Nicki & Mal went on to have another beautiful daughter Caitlin and the Foundation supported Nicki and Malcolm through the pregnancy and the months that have followed by placing Caitlin on a program called CONI Care of Next Infant. I did this for them. And to in some way help other families like ours.

The Head and Beard shave took place at The Prince Albert Public House, Bexleyheath, Kent On the 6th May 2007  to also help raise much needed funds to help the Foundation in it's vital life saving work with Babies and families. We raised an amazing 328.44 on the night and money is still coming in... Its not to late for you to donate to this very special cause you can do that here

Now onto the photo's
