Wendy

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I've set up this page as so many of our wonderful customers have asked how they can donate to St Raphael's even if they don't buy Pop Pop.  I'm so overwhelmed with all your generosity. Let's smash our original target!

Wendy & Pop Pop
The Pop Pop Motherease print has been named in memory of my Dad, affectionately known as “PopPop” to his three Grandchildren.  When I was a young child I heard my Dad call his Dad Pop so I repeated it as Pop Pop and it stuck forever more.  When I had my own children children my Dad of course wanted to be a Pop Pop too!   Even when my eldest got older Dad told him you call me Grandad now if you want but nope it was Pop Pop forever!   

Dad was a generous and hardworking man who had a lifelong passion for motorbikes. When he wasn’t at work, he was always found in his shed tinkering about with his beloved classic bikes. What Dad didn’t know about a motorbike wasn’t worth knowing. Growing up there were always people stopping by for his expert help. I had no interest in motorbikes so other than knowing what BSA stands for, I’m no help with your motorbike problems, nappy questions on the other hand I’m your lady! Dad always dreamed of running his own motorbike shop but unfortunately this never happened, so he was delighted in my development of The Nappy Lady.

Dad was diagnosed with stomach cancer in 2014 and underwent aggressive and life changing treatment. He bravely faced each stage and he never gave up hope of a recovery. In 2017 the cancer was back and had spread. After a critical infection he was referred to his local hospice St Raphael’s and was given 48 hours to live. The care St Raphael’s gave him was faultless and for the first time in years his pain was kept under control. Those 48 hours came and went and three weeks later he was discharged. Dad remained under St Raphael’s community care for another six months until he finally lost his battle in early 2018.

Throughout his life Dad loved supporting a variety of charities and arranged fundraising events with his motorbike club. November 2019 was The Nappy Lady’s 20th Anniversary and to celebrate we worked with Motherease to create our Pop Pop charity print. 1000 Onesize Pop Pop Unos will be lovingly made by Motherease. £10 from every Pop Pop Uno will be donated to St Raphael’s Hospice to thank them for the tremendous support and comfort they provided my Dad. 

While Pop Pop Unos were limited edition the demand for Pop Pop was so high it is going to remain as a permanent print but in other products. Each item sold includes a £1 donation to St Raphael's, The Nappy Lady then matches this donation with a further £2.  We have raised our fundraising target to 30,000.
