Story

On 26th June, I will be swimming 2.1 km upstream at dawn, in memory of my beautiful 7 year old nephew Louis, who died from neuroblastoma in 2018.

By donating to Starlight, you’re helping children to cope with serious illness by giving them tools to manage anxiety and isolation when they need it most. Not only this, but you’re  also supporting their siblings and parents by funding family breaks and away days, giving them a chance to make comforting, life lasting memories together, no matter what the future may bring. From all of them, THANK YOU!
