For Liam who gained his Angel wings far too soon.
We have created this fundraising page because we truly believe in the life-changing work of Red Nose—funding vital research, supporting grieving families and helping to save precious little lives.
For more than 40 years, Red Nose has worked tirelessly to reduce the heartbreak caused by SIDS and stillbirth. The research it has funded helped create the Safe Sleep Program, which has contributed to an incredible 80% reduction in the rate of SIDS in Australia.
This cause is especially close to our hearts because of our beautiful grandson, Liam.
Liam never had the chance to see the magic of Christmas lights or hear the laughter of his siblings on Christmas morning. As his grandparents, we carry him with us always, and we hope for a future in which no family has to endure such a devastating loss.
With the incredible generosity and support of our community, we have raised more than $1,700 for Red Nose over the past couple years. In 2026, we would dearly love to exceed that amount and help fund further research, raise awareness and support families experiencing unimaginable grief.
Every donation, no matter the amount, can help make a difference. Please give only what you can, and always remember that your own family must come first.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for remembering Liam and for supporting this very special cause.
Warmest regards and many thanks,
Ralph and Sue Maio
Merry Christmas 2026
