Story

Every Day is a Gift; A Powerful Tribute to a Remarkable Life.

Our amazing and beautiful friend, Suki Thompson, has now come to the end of her extraordinary journey. Extraordinary because it was a life that touched so many people in so many ways. She passed peacefully at her home in Perranporth, Cornwall, surrounded by family.

As a serial entrepreneur and marketing industry leader, Suki always made it her mission to put people first. And in her final journey, this was no different. She dedicated these last few months to raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support, where she was a trustee of this fantastic charity for 9 years and, importantly, supported her and her family through everything.

And in keeping with Suki's mantra of 'every day is a gift' we have launched a deeply personal and beautifully produced new book, under the theme that every day really is a gift. The book gathers reflections from more than 40 contributors from Suki’s brilliant podcast series, ‘Reset’ where friends and colleagues talk about lessons and moments of real meaning shared with Suki.

‘This book is full of Mum,’ says Jazmyn Thompson, Suki’s daughter. ‘Her courage, her joy, the way she brought people together. It’s a reminder of how loved she was, and still is. I think anyone who reads it will find something of themselves in its pages.’

The book is intended not only as a lasting tribute to Suki, but a continuation of the incredible fundraising efforts from Suki’s family and friends. In the last two years alone, we have raised over £200,000 for Macmillan Cancer, a charity so close to Suki’s heart. All proceeds from the sale of this book will continue to go to Macmillan and towards our new goal of £250,000.

We’d be so grateful for your donations, however big or small, to support Suki's legacy to continue funding specialist nurses. Each £50,000 raised adds another specialist nurse for a year. So far we have raised enough to support four nurses, and want to see that number continue to rise. Without your donations Macmillan can't support everyone who needs their help.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and secure. Your details are safe. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. It is the most efficient way to donate.

Thank you and once you donate, please share this link with others so they too can donate and help Macmillan do the amazing work they do.

Suki was the best of us. Brave, bold and beautiful. Kind, caring, warm and generous - the true embodiment of human sunshine.

Rest in peace our beautiful Suki!
