On 7th April 3 years ago, the lives of our good friends, Emma and James, changed forever when they lost their darling daughter Lucy. 

Over the past 3 years a charity called Once Upon a Smile has been at the forefront of providing support to Emma, James and their sons Ollie and Louis. 

This April, on Lucy’s anniversary, we are hoping to raise lots of money for this amazing charity. 3 teams will be taking part in the Manchester marathon relay. We’re running for Lucy and other bereaved families and children. Please help us by donating anything you can spare and please come and cheer us on on 7th April- we’ll definitely appreciate the encouragement! 

Thank you! 

Kathryn, Mark, Rachel, Craig, Nikki, John, Caroline, Eric, Leanne, Dave, James and Emma xx 

Here is an example of the difference Once Upon a Smile made to one family, written by a bereaved parent. “Our lives had just been turned upside down. It was painful enough telling our young son that his dad had died, let alone telling him the funeral was not going ahead. I cannot thank Once Upon a Smile enough for supporting us with the funeral costs and the ongoing support of gift cards for groceries. I do not know what I would have done without Once Upon a Smile”
