Story

Joe should be turning 18 years old this November… it’s hard to believe we have not had him with us for all that time. Every day is still incredibly difficult without him, but each day I try and push myself to keep going and experience the world as Joe did, even when he was struggling he found joy in nature - surfing,  harbour jumping, cycling… anything to get outside. 

As many of you may be aware, LoveOliver holds a tribute fund in Joe’s name. We raise money specifically for pre-teen children and young people with cancer, funding memorable experiences, or supporting with financial grants etc. It gives us a way to do something for Joe,  while helping others who are going through a similar situation. 

On Saturday 27th of May I will be climbing Ben Nevis with another mum, Aileen who lost her son Reon to cancer a year after Joe. We will be climbing with our boys in our hearts 💛 

Please help us remember our boys and raise money to help other children, young people and their families that may  have limited time. 

I know times are hard, no amount is too small, just a couple of pounds to help would be so appreciated. And to remember Joe and his zest for life.
