227: Kim Peake lost her young daughter, now she’s helping hundreds of others

Kim Peake is a mum of three who grew up in rural New South Wales, so when she fell in love with a stud cattle man, Nick, her world didn’t shift that much. Kim and Nick were married during one of the worst droughts the district had seen in 50 years and they welcomed their first daughter, Ruby, not long after. A few years later, Holly was born, and then Kim found out that she was pregnant with their third, a boy, Barney. Each child was born with the same rare disease that required major surgery in Sydney six hours away. When Kim was 15 weeks pregnant with Barney in 2022, their eldest Ruby got sick, fast, with gastro. A bug that is so common in kids and something almost all of us have experienced.  Ruby was rushed to Hospital, and tragically, after six days, she never returned home. Two years on from the loss of Ruby, Kim joins me to share her story and the charity her and Nick have set up in their little girl's name. For more information on Ruby Mae’s wish, head to rubymaeswish.com.au Today’s episode deals with child loss.
