‘Even though I had to make my own keepsakes, by providing these gifts to bereaved parents, it gives them something physical to remember their precious child or children by.
‘I am so proud to be able to donate them in Elijah’s name.’
People taking part ran or walked just over three miles to raise £405 for Heart in their Hand for gifts for grieving parents.
Some of the gifts will go to parents at Queen Alexandra Hospital in Cosham.
