Bereaved mum Kath Keeble, from Merthyr Tydfil, is co-fronting the appeal along with bereaved parents Gwenno George and Luke Nicholas, from Cardiff.

Ty Hafan continues to support Kath, Gwenno and Luke through their experiences of baby loss.

Donations made within the 60-hour appeal window, which will start at 10am tomorrow and finish at 10pm on Tuesday, will be doubled thanks to a match-fund pot the charity has put together.

Kath's son, Tommy, was just eight days old when he died on October 30, 2022, after having been born prematurely at 31 weeks on October 22, 2022.

Kath, a community mental health worker, said: "I never really thought Tommy would be gone.

"I always thought: 'No, this is going to be OK. This is just something that we have to go through. It's horrific. But he'll be OK!
