Martin House supports children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and their families, across West, North and East Yorkshire. Our vision is that every child and young person has access to palliative care when and where they need it.

In October 2021 Holly became seriously unwell, the doctors at the hospital were concerned she wouldn't recover, and so we decided the best place for Holly was Martin House.

I was terrified at the hospital, but as soon as we got to Martin House, even though I knew Holly was going to die I felt safe. It was the best thing we could have done for her.

The support from Martin House doesn't end when a child dies. We were able to stay with Holly for a week after she died.

It's unimaginable losing a child, but to be then separated from them is unthinkable, so that week means everything to me.

Please support our climb so that they can continue to be there for families like mine.
