UPDATE: I completed the abseil on the 8th October 2022 - thank you to everyone for your very kind donations :)

In 2014 I was blessed with the birth of my beautiful son Noah. He was the most gorgeous boy, with the cheekiest smile you could ever see. At 6 months old, Noah was diagnosed with the neurodegenerative condition Spinal Muscular Atrophy type 1 and died aged 15 months.

Rainbows Children's Hospice supported my husband, Noah and myself throughout his entire illness and death. They enabled us to create the most amazing memories and provided the best possible end of life support for Noah. My husband Ed and I were also able to access Rainbow's extensive bereavement services.

Rainbows is a charity I will support for the rest of my life. The services they provide change lives forever.
