Story

Gorgeous little Abigail, lost her fight for life in January 2010 at 2yrs 9months.  She suffered from Tay Sachs, a condition that has no cure and is always fatal.  

She had a smile and a giggle that would light up the room and always won over everyone's heart, with those big blue eyes.  As time went by she lost the ability to smile, but always managed to give us a little sigh.

Even if you are told, nothing prepares you for losing your child, but makes a difference having Chestnut Tree House Children's Hospice, support you every step of the way.  When facing such exhausting and heartfelt times, being part of this amazing place and invaluable support just helps you make the journey.  This is the only hospice in Sussex, which survives purely on public generosity, so please help us reach our target and sponsor us today!

We have an amazing team of friends that have signed up to take on this 10K challenge and raise as much money in memory of Abigail and for a great cause.

Nicki & Matt Spiers, Eve Perry, Anthony & Kelly Lamoureux, Mark Hopkins & Mickey O'Neill

Thank you so much for your sponsorship and support, it means the world!  xx
