My amazing mum, Alison Hope, sadly lost her life far too early due to complications related to Amyloidosis. She bravely fought the condition for 10 years before passing away two years ago. She is missed by all that knew and loved her every day. I can't change what has happened but I can try to do something in her memory to make things better for others with this condition. She would have wanted us to remember her as a fun, loving, outgoing and caring person and one of the things she enjoyed most was watching live music.

With this in mind we held a charity gig in her honour on Saturday 20th May 2023 in Bury St. Edmunds. We successfully managed to raise around £1000 at the event but know that many people who were unable to attend have expressed an interest in contributing to this fundraising further. This is why I have set up this page and hope that we can raise as much as possible for this very important cause in memory of my mum. 

Please feel free to share far and wide. Love you and miss you Mum, Shannon xoxo
