💙In Lorcan’s Memory 💙 Help us support 💙. As many of our wonderful customers know, you all saw my sister’s presence in the tea rooms throughout her pregnancy, and like us, you were all waiting to meet the newest member of our family. Tragically, Lorcan never got to come home, passing away at just 31 days old. Lorcan was born with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH), a condition that wasn’t known until his birth at Derby Hospital.Lorcan was immediately transferred to the Leicester Neonatal Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU), where he spent his precious days being deeply loved.
To honour our beautiful nephew’s memory, we are holding a Fundraising Cake Sale to give back to the incredible unit who supported him, and to help other families facing the unimaginable.
