About The Jude Brady Foundation web site
Thank you for visiting the Jude Brady Foundation web site. The foundation was set up by the trustees and the parents of Jude Brady to raise money for research into the reason why so many babies die every day. As trustees we have agreed that the best use of the money we raise will be to donate to child related good causes and Sands
Jude was unfortunately born asleep on the 16th of June 2006. After his death his parents Peter & Lynn Brady were taken aback by the sheer volume of babies that die every day (17) previous to this they had been completely oblivious of this fact and they desperately wanted to help prevent more people going through the pain they had just gone through.
They started with a Just Giving site in 2006 which raised nearly £2000.00 in a month and from there they progressed to running a golf day with the proceeds going to Sands whom they had now contacted to see how they could help. The first event they ran was in 2007 shortly after Jude’s first birthday. This was a great success which prompted them to arrange another one in 2008, again this was a great success and encouraged them to set up the Jude Brady Foundation with a view to holding an annual fundraising event to help raise awareness about the babies dying every day.
The Golf event has become a great spectacle and is now becoming very difficult to get a team into, and with the progression into the The Shining Star Ball in the evening the event has now become a Golf and Gala Dinner all day event. The Shining Star Ball has been attended by people such as DJ Spoony (Patron), Kieron Dyer (Queens Park Rangers Football Club), Matt Allwright (Rogue Traders), David Haig (Four Weddings and A Funeral) and Jo Cameron (The Apprentice) in the past. We would love to hear from anyone who can help us raise funds for this very worthy cause and if you wish to help please do not hesitate to contact us.
