Demelza delivers extraordinary care to children who are facing serious or life-limiting conditions, throughout Kent, South East London and East Sussex.

Demelza means so much to me and my family.

My brother, Theo, who has Dravet Syndrome, was under the care of Demelza for a number of years before turning 18. They provided excellent care for T and provided respite care, creating a space that felt normal amongst some really difficult times.

I am so thankful for the nurses who took time to speak to me as a child, providing comfort and support when explaining things to me.

I remember Christmas parties which were always a fun time to meet other siblings and families and their care was always with kindness and understanding.

Im running the Paris marathon (my first ever marathon), which is a bucket list goal for me but also an opportunity to raise money for an amazing cause which is so important to me. Demelza’s support has been so invaluable to me and my family. Every donation can make such a difference to other families.

Thank you for any donations and coming along the running journey with me.

Lots of love,

Lilah
