Some of you will remember Charlotte Bee who worked for us in the HSC and within complaints – the most eternally optimistic and joyful person you could wish to meet.
Charlotte left us and married Luke and started a family of her own. She had a little boy called Louis followed quickly by Ryan, they certainly take after their Mum in that their beaming smiles can brighten the day
Ryan is also the bravest of boys. Shortly after moving to Spain to start a new life, at the tender age of 5 months Ryan was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia and admitted to Great Ormond Street Hospital. AML can affect anyone, but is very rare in childhood, only 50 children a year are diagnosed with this awful disease.
At 12 months old Ryan underwent chemotherapy, a bone marrow transplant and experimental treatment, sadly despite all this the leukaemia returned and the options have ran out, Ryan was admitted to Naomi House where he spent his short time remaining with his family.
Sadly on the 10th July 2013 Ryan earnt his wings – we will be doing this in memory of a wonderful little boy.
We will be doing a sponsored walk on Saturday 21st September from Sandbanks to Hengistbury head. We will be raising money for charities that support childhood cancer and Clic Sergant who have worked to support Ryans family during this time. 10 miles may not sound far, but for some of us that do not possess flat shoes it may prove to be a challenge
We would like as many of you as possible to support us either by joining our walk or donating whatever you can afford – we will provide details of a just giving page very soon, there will also be sponsorship forms at the staff conference – please give what you can. We website is in the process of being set up and you can see more details about Ryans fight on our Facebook page.
Thank you - Nikki Whitehouse, Emma Cook, Emma Rolls and Nicky Hawkins
