I know some of you have followed Charlie Beard-Harris's story He sadly lost his battle against leukaemia on Friday.

His family have set up a Petition to Increase Awareness and Availability of Umbilical Cord Donation

It has reached 16,000 signatures, which means the government have to give them a response. Another 84,000 signatures would mean the government have to debate it.

WIBU to ask you all to sign it please?

Signed. I thought about starting this too but something told me it wouldn't be allowed to stand? Not sure why and could be wrong. I followed him on Facebook and feel absolutely awful for his family, it's so sad.

Don't worry TheBody, I know you weren't suggesting it should go. The Twitter and Facebook campaigns are doing brilliantly so hopefully it will stay here, but if it doesn't the message will keep spreading elsewhere.

Signed. I desperately wanted to donate the cord from my children, but most midwives I encountered didn't know what I meant. Sad

I know. I genuinely can't believe there are so few hospitals in the uk that can do it (just six I think)
