This campaign is taking Abby's Heroes to new heights, as this group take on the 3 highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales in 24 hrs. The challenge is to climb and descend 11,000ft (3408m) with little or no sleep, travelling between in a minibus!
Story
We currently support families from across the South Coast when their children have been diagnosed with cancer and treated at UHS. We offer families financial grants, practical support and funds to make cherished family memories.
Abby's Heroes also provide the Piam Brown ward with 2 evening meals and a lunch every week, as well as topping up the emergency snack box on the ward. Every single family is handed a welfare pack at the beginning of their time on the ward, which has vouchers for the food outlets within the hospital as there is no provision for food for parents whilst on the ward. The packs also includes car parking vouchers. We also fund a Clinical Psychologist for the Siblings and our projectss for the coming year will be to fund a play therapist and a family support worker for the ward.

We work specifically with the Piam Brown Ward and Teenage and Young Adult Unit at Southampton General Hospital, who support children and young adults diagnosed with cancer, and their families, from across the South Coast.
We offer practical, financial and memory making grants to these families.
