On Sunday peacefully in Madrid, our amazing, beautiful Ambasador Lucy passed away with her mum and dad beside her.

To say we are devastated doesn’t come close to describing how heartbroken we are. Lucy has been such a huge part of Milly’s Smiles for so many years. She has spoken at many corporate events, she has been a passionate champion of our Adopt an Elephant scheme and has supported so many of our own fundraisers, all whilst bravely facing neuroblastoma and enduring the harsh treatments that came with it.

Throughout everything, Lucy showed the most incredible dignity and grace. She never complained, despite travelling internationally in order to access treatment. She simply got on with it, determined to live her life as fully and as joyfully as she could.

It has been an honour and a privilege to know her. Her strength, her kindness, and her beautiful spirit have left a mark on all of us, and she will be missed more than words can say.

We send all our love to her amazing mum and dad, and to her lovely brother Sam.

Fly high, beautiful Lucy. I know that Milly and her friends will be wrapping you up in their arms and holding you close.

We will always speak your name. And your legacy will live on through your incredible family and the love you’ve shared with us all
