It’s no secret that we’ve had 15 months of hell. Our gorgeous daughter Arabella (5 at the time) was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in October 2022. She spent 9 days in ICU as well as having multiple surgeries, radiotherapy and over a years worth of chemotherapy.

We’re finally coming towards the end of treatment but it’s so important to remember who has helped and supported us along the way.

Abby’s Heroes are a lifeline to families in the same situation and without them you have significantly less support both financially and emotionally.

I’ve climbed Snowdon and jumped out of a plane at 15k feet but, this is the one that actually terrifies me the most.

I hate heights and having to step out 100m above the ground does not fill me with joy.

I know I’ve fundraised for a while but the truth is, the fight against this horrific disease never stops and anything you can give makes such a difference to the charity and the families they support.

If you’re in a position to support them then all I can say is; thank you.

Much love,

Liam, Hannah, Arabella and Myles xxx
