My story

the totals on here also list the offline amounts raised see the list below the story on here ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

we are going to be doing a lot of fundraising in memory of madison, our chosen charity will be the donna louise childrens trust (treetops).

before madison passed away she used to love going there 4 stays with her family, everyone was made to feel comfortable and everything was taken care of (cooking, cleaning, laundry, activities, baths, support, councelling, days out) enabling us to have quality family time together, if it wasnt for the care we recieved then madisons illness would have been unbearable,

3 weeks before madison passed away, we all went to stay at treeetops, the help and support recieved was beyond excellent, the staff were very caring, supportive and loving, they enabled us spend the most time before madisons passing to be close to her at all times with no other normal worries or cares
it was so nice to be out of an hospital enviroment

at the time of madisons passing and when madison passed away, the staff helped us understand what was happening and then we took madisons body to a special room where we could spend as much/little time as possible with her before the funeral.. this gave us the opportunity to be with her until the day b4 her funeral..
some people might think this is wierd/strange but until you have had this support you will never know how much it has helped..

we are so truly gratefull for everything treetops has helped us with and get threw making it more bearable,
it is now our choice to give back something to them and as the donna louise is all fundraised and donation based,

we really hope what we raise will help keep families together threw the hard times that we have experienced ourselves
