Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page in memory of Gemma Katherine Howe 10.02.1990 – 26.03.2017.

In October, we are trekking the Great Wall of China in memory of our wonderful Gemma!

This is a self-funded trip therefore all money raised will go directly to this incredible charity.

Julia’s House is a local charity that provide essential support for terminally ill children and their families. We have benefitted from this charity in the early days of Gemma’s diagnosis. This charity is particularly special as it does not just support the children with life threatening illnesses, it also provides vital support for all members of the family. Our family alone benefitted from the respite services and sibling support.  

Gemma will always be remembered
for her beaming smile and big heart. She greeted everyone she met with kindness and love. This trip is a chance for us to give back to a service that really supported us, as a family, caring for Gemma. This once in a lifetime trek will also provide us some time to reflect and reminisce on the amazing times we shared
with her!

We will be extremely grateful for any donations- no matter how small!

From Jes (Gemma’s dad) and Zoe (Gemma’s sister)
