“We will be carefully considering the Coroner’s findings regarding the way the Trust conducted itself during this tragic incident, even though we know that this will not bring Ryleigh back. Our goal is to ensure that we learn as much as possible from what happened and work to prevent anything similar from happening again.”
In 2022, Katie Hobbs, Caroline’s sister-in-law, coordinated a charity event and participated in the Royal Parks Half Marathon to raise funds for The Compassionate Friends. More than £3,000. was raised at the event.
“My sister-in-law Caroline and her partner Andrew’s daughter Ryleigh died suddenly and out of the blue in November of last year,” Katie said on the GoFundMe page.
“Her parents and everyone who knew her have been devastated by her loss.”
“She was a charming little child with a wide smile who filled everyone she came into contact with with magic and joy.”
“I’m running for the kind friends who supported Ryleigh’s amazing parents during the darkest period of their lives.”
“The charity arranged a retreat where they will meet face-to-face and connected them with other grieving parents.”
