We support Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff families to help them cope with a diagnosis

Story



Every year we hold a coffee morning to raise money in memory of Lydia and Ella, who would have been celebrating their 16th birthday on 13th June.

Please join us on Saturday 10th June for coffe and cake.  There will be the usual raffle and tombola with lots of prizes to be won.

Lydia and Ella were born on 13th June 2007 just 1 minute apart.  They were 1 month premature but absolutely perfect.  After an eye examination at 6 months old, Lydia had the heart breaking diagnosis of Tay Sachs Disease.  Ella's same diagnosis was confirmed 10 days later.  We spent the next couple of years doing everything we could to make their lives as happy and comfortable as possible, while making lots of memories for us all to remember.  Lydia fell asleep forever on 24th June 2010 and Ella on 15th August 2010.   

Thank you to everyone who continues to remember Lydia and Ella and support us with our fund raising.

Leann, Dean, Jessica & Amelia
