We will be fundraising this year for a very special cause. The Bristol event was my partner Ryan's idea, he was always so encouraging of me and this business. He was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in April 2023, and after a year of incredibly hard treatment, he passed away in April this year at only 31 years old. Ryan was a loving father, a kind and thoughtful partner, and a wonderful son, brother, grandson, and friend. The Bristol Vegan Christmas Market only exists because of his kindness and support, and it will always be dedicated to him.

We will be fundraising for the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham charity to help anyone going through the same.

We will have donation pots on the day, please donate what you can and please help to spread awareness. Sarcoma is one of the rarest cancers, they are often initially misdiagnosed or left untreated because they form in soft tissue in areas not associated with cancer and affect younger people. Ryan's only symptom was a lump on his leg which was initially misdiagnosed as a torn hamstring.

10% of the profits of the events this year overall will be donated to the QE Patient Fund. Please donate what you can on the day.
