Bristol for BEN

Abi Seex is raising money for Be More Ben
In memory of Ben Pritchard
Donations cannot currently be made to this page
Our son Ben was diagnosed with DIPG, a very rare and aggressive brain tumour, aged 7. Previously fit and well, on diagnosis, we were told his tumour was inoperable and incurable and that we had at best a year left with our son. Despite taking part in a clinical trial and having intensive treatment, Ben passed away 6 months later. Following his death, we found little in the way of regular, ongoing support that was informal and for the whole family. To lose a child and feel that there is no help available to you is frightening and leaves you feeling isolated and vulnerable. We set up The Benjamin Pritchard Foundation – Be More Ben to enhance bereavement support and services for parents, families and siblings who have lost a child under the age of 18.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have decided to raise money for Be More Ben, a charity set up by my Aunt and Uncle in memory of my cousin Ben.  

The charity offers help, counselling and complementary therapies to bereaved parents and close family members.

In May 2017 Ben was diagnosed with an incurable brain tumour, and sadly lost his fight in November 2017 [just 6 months later], aged 8 years old.

To challenge myself I have agreed to cycle 162 miles from 16th June-16th July.

Why 16th June? – well that would have been Ben’s 12th birthday,

Why 162 miles? – well that is the distance between where I live in Kent and where Ben and his family lived in Portishead, Bristol.

Any donation big or small would mean the world to me.

Thank you ABI
