While going through treatment for breast cancer in 2017 I was made aware of the Willow foundation. What started off as a simple form, thinking nothing of the outcome, resulted in an amazing trip for me and my family. The foundation was amazing doing everything in their power to meet our expectations and ensure that the experience was tailor made. They really did go above and beyond our expectations. It allowed us all as a family unit to start enjoying life again and looking forward moving away from the stresses of treatment.

At Willow we believe in quality of life and quality of time. Willow is the only national charity working with seriously ill young adults aged 16 to 40 to fulfil uplifting and unforgettable Special Days. This year we hope to fulfil 1,400 Special Days – a day to anticipate, to share and to remember when happy memories really do count. Sadly for some, it’s a last chance to fulfil a dream with the people that really matter. Thankfully for many more their Special Day is an important opportunity to put much-needed normality back into living.
