On Monday, it was revealed that Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively had donated £10,000 to a GoFundMe page set up by Wrexham FC player Jordan Davies, who was raising money following his girlfriend, Kelsey Edwards, having suffered a stillbirth. “The midwives provided around-the-clock care and made sure we were comfortable and they really couldn’t do enough for us.” He went on to explain how he wanted to raise funds for Sands in order to support families who had also suffered a stillbirth. “Sands support anyone affected by the death of a baby, works in partnership with health professionals to try to ensure that bereaved parents and families receive the best possible care, and funds research that could help to reduce the numbers of babies dying and families devastated by this tragedy,” he wrote.
