Beards for Bereaving Blokes
Steve Smith growing his beard for ‘Beards of Hope’ | Image: Naomi Smith | Article: Sara Drebber
In Australia, approximately 150,000 families a year are affected by the devastating loss of a baby or infant under the age of twelve months. Local Glenmore Park parents Steve and Naomi Smith know the heartbreak of losing a child all too well. In March 2014 their son, Lucas, passed away at just eighteen days old. “The night Lucas grew his wings we received a bear from the nurses, which was donated from ‘Bears of Hope’, as a comfort so we didn’t leave the hospital with empty arms”, Naomi explained to the Glenmore Gazette. The couple were so touched by this gesture at a significant time of grief in their lives that they decided to provide ongoing support to the charity, attending charity events and giving regular donations in memory of Lucas. As part of their fundraising efforts this year, Steve is growing a beard for ‘Beards of Hope’ to support other men and their families through their grief and to raise awareness of how common pregnancy and infant loss is in Australia. He would like to encourage everyone in our local community of Glenmore Park to get behind this worthwhile cause. To support Steve in raising money to assist other bereaving fathers and their families, please donate at https://beardsofhope2017.gofundraise.com.au/page/SteveSmith2. Beards of Hope also invites all men across Australia to grow a beard this beard season (1 June - 31 August) to raise funds for and awareness of ‘Bears of Hope’ Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support.
