Willow is the only UK charity supporting seriously ill 16 to 40 year olds by providing unique and positive Special Days. Since 1999 Willow has fulfilled more than 22,000 Special Days for young adults living with life-threatening conditions such as cancer, motor neurone disease and cystic fibrosis.

Story

As many of you visiting this page will know, Liam Seager (the son of fellow Gunner, Dave Seager), tragically lost his life on January 1st.

Dave and his family chose Willow as one of two charity’s to raise money for in Liam’s memory.

I decided that Willow would be a great charity to fundraise for through my Hackney Half marathon in May, and I hope to raise as much as possible in Liam’s memory and to help the team at Willow Foundation continue their brilliant work.

At Willow we believe in quality of life and quality of time. Willow is the only national charity working with seriously ill young adults aged 16 to 40 to fulfil uplifting and unforgettable Special Days. This year we hope to fulfil 1,400 Special Days – a day to anticipate, to share and to remember when happy memories really do count. Sadly for some, it’s a last chance to fulfil a dream with the people that really matter. Thankfully for many more their Special Day is an important opportunity to put much-needed normality back into living.
