Kelly Dodd

Said the following about Kayleigh Smith and Stevie James:

“Through Kayleigh and Stephen's struggles last year having gone through miscarriages Kayleigh and her fiancé Stephen James put on a charity event to raise awareness and raise money for support for people going through similar situations. The charity was Mariposa Trust. The event was very successful and a lot of effort was put into this. This was such a selfless act as they have suffered so much heartache but rather than burying their heads in the sand they did something to help others and were so generous and amazing in doing so.“

Jo Spencer-Hewett

Said the following about Kayleigh Smith and Stevie James:

“Kayleigh and Stevie went through losing three babies and realised there was no support for people going through this pain. They founded a charity that helps support men and women going through the loss of their babies called the Mariposa Trust. They decided to do an event to raise awareness of this amazing charity. Their target was to raise £1000 and they ended up raising £2,274. Their dedication and commitment to this charity should be recognised and awarded.“
