I used to buy chocoranges for all the people who looked after my son Elliott whenever he was in hospital. It started off with just one but has now turned into hundreds of thousand in his memory.

Elliott had a condition called cytomeglavirus (cmv) which left him profoundly disabled from birth. He spent lots of time in hospital during his short life and I was always so grateful to those who looked after him.

After Elliott flew to the angels on 15 December 2010, I decided to do something positive in his memory each year to say a small but special thank you. The challenge has grown and grown over the past eleven years and now includes hospitals and organisations all over the UK and indeed the world.

We use any money donated online to bulk purchase chocoranges which sometimes attracts a small discount from wholesalers meaning we can buy more.

Every penny received goes towards the purchase of chocoranges for delivery on 9 December 2022
