Hiya!
So I’m gunna be participating in a 14.2KM walk this summer with my work colleagues at Fixx! This is to raise funds for the Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice 🤍
Forget Me Not provides services such as hospice at home, crisis care, bereavement support and end of life care for children and their families across the West Yorkshire area.
This charity supports one of my work colleagues, Darren and his daughter, Isla. Isla is a happy and sociable 9 year old who unfortunately has a rare disease known as Sanfilippo Syndrome. This is a degenerative condition linked to Alzheimer’s disease but sadly affects children 😔💔
Isla, along with her family receive support through the Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice. They provide a bright, friendly and welcoming space with amazing facilities and provide ongoing support for many families.
“Knowing that Isla is loved and well looked after in an amazing setting means so much to us as a family. It enables us to to recharge and have quality time with Islas brother Toby, knowing that she is looked after and happy to be there. Our family are grateful for the ongoing support that they provide and know they are there every step of the way, in whatever way we need them”.
I have put the target at £50 but if we could raise as much as possible it would really mean the world! Hospices are greatly underfunded by the government so I would really appreciate any donations to help support this amazing charity.
Thank you!
Jenna 🖤
