On October 14th 2022, my beautiful best friend’s daughter Annabel Greenhalgh sadly and unexpectedly passed away aged 11. Annabel was also my daughter Alexis’ best friend from the age of 4. They did so much together and through Annabel and my daughter forming a beautiful friendship, I soon became best friends with her mum, Josie. 

Annabel is so dearly missed by all those who knew her, we have truly lost the most loveliest, kind-hearted, beautiful girl we have known and I couldn’t have wished for my daughter to have had such an amazing best friend that she was blessed with in Annabel. 

I have agreed to climb Snowdon before sunrise along with Annabel’s mum and close friends to raise money to support Birmingham Children’s Hospital as this was a charity that was very special to Annabel as she had spent a long time there when she was born premature and had bowel surgery at that time. She also underwent a major bowel operation when she was at primary school, aged 5. Please if you can spare any change it would mean so much to myself and Annabel’s parents that we continue with this fundraising in Annabel’s legacy.
