In memory of Johannah Deakin
Donations cannot currently be made to this page
Niamh's Next Step was set up in Dec 2012 after we lost our amazing little girl to the childhood cancer, neuroblastoma in May 2012. We very proud to be funding vital research programs into this vile, aggressive childhood cancer but there is so much more to do. Please donate and help save our children

Story

Johannah Deakin  sadly passed away on Wednesday 7th December after a six month battle with a very aggressive form of Leukemia.

Johannah was the mum of seven wonderful children. Over the last, 5 years she generously helped organize countless special events for charities which benefit seriously ill young children; both she and  her eldest son Louis have donated much of their time touching many.

Last year  Johannah helped to organize a very special event the 'Cinderella Ball' for the charity Believe In Magic, in which many little Princes and Princesses had a magical night by creating special memories with their families.It was a huge success and raised several million pounds.

Jay's generosity also extended to helping countless fans of One Direction, many with serious illnesses to meet the boys! She has always been described as kind and warm by fans who have had the pleasure of meeting her. She selflessly did a great deal of things to make others happy.

One of the most touching instances was highlighted earlier  in this article by Alan Ewart http://soundofsummer.org/2016/01/14/louis-tomlinsons-fly-high-buddy-interview-transcript/ …

Johannah gave selflessly and generously. Often the happiness she gave families goes undocumented . The people helped asked not talk about it. This allows the focus to remain purely on the families being help. Johannah used her incredibly unique and privileged position to help create special memories for families and children who need some happiness in their lives. She knew what little gestures can mean to the people she helped. Throughout her life Johannahs generosity has known no bounds. She  strived to make people happy because she could, not because she had to.

Johannah was named as a patron of Niamh's Next Step (http://www.niamhsnextstep.com/ ), a charity organization devoted to help children with a very aggressive form of cancer called Neuroblastoma, which is why we have chosen to raise money for this charity in memory of her.

The charity's aim is to: " raise money and awareness of Neuroblastoma whilst offering help, support and advice to children and families affected by this aggressive childhood cancer. Other aims are to help fund much-needed research and education programs and help improve all round treatment of Neuroblastoma."

So please help us honour Johannah and donate to a charity she care deeply for.
