Kate’s daughter Olivia was diagnosed with Infant ALL leukaemia in November 2004 when she was just 5 weeks old.

Sadly Olivia passed away aged 2 years 10 months in August 2007 after spending 617 days as an inpatient over 3 different hospitals.

This October Olivia would have been 21, a big milestone that we don’t get to celebrate with her. So Kate’s work place, Alresford Haircare thought they would raise money for the ward olivia was treated on for most of her short life as a way to celebrate her life and birthday.
