Rory H. Mathers's book My Little Star in placement with Evie; memorials
Red Nose Australia is proud to announce that Rory H Mather, author and bereaved father, has joined the organisation as a Bereavement Ambassador

In 2022, Rory and his wife Georgia faced the devastating stillbirth of their daughter Evie at just under 21 weeks. In the months following, Rory channelled his grief into writing a children’s book titled My Little Star, dedicated to Evie and all the little lives taken too soon. 

Evie is the brightest star in our universe,” said Rory.

“Her memory lives on in everything I do — especially in helping others who are also navigating loss,” said Rory.

Rory’s partnership with Red Nose began during the release of My Little Star and deepened through his participation in the organisation’s Walk to Remember and advocacy efforts. As a Bereavement Ambassador, he will share his story publicly, support awareness campaigns, and encourage others — particularly men — to speak openly about grief. 

Red Nose CEO Amy Cooper said: 

“We’re deeply grateful to Rory for his honesty, creativity and courage. He brings such an important perspective to our work — especially for fathers who too often grieve in silence. Evie’s legacy will continue to shine through his voice.” 

Rory’s appointment comes as Red Nose prepares for Red Nose Day 2025, to be held on Thursday, 28 August. Red Nose Day is Australia’s largest campaign dedicated to saving little lives and supporting grieving families.
