855 Miles for Meredith’s Mission

We are a small but important charity supporing families in the Dorset area who's children have received a cancer diagnosis. As parents to a child diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma at 4 years old we saw first hand just where support is needed.

Story

Our Meredith underwent 855 days of chemotherapy treatment after being diagnosed with a rare type of non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (B-Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma) at 4 years old.

She began treatment on the 9th September 2023 and she rang the bell, marking the end of treatment, on 9th January 2026 and we feel grateful to share that she is now doing incredibly well.

To mark every day of treatment , I am moving 855 miles, a mile for every day she completed.

Meredith always showed up. She always looked on the 'bright side' of her situation and she truly inspired me to stand with her, to dig deep and to look ahead.

She faced over 40 admissions during her treatment, emergency surgeries, sepsis, pneumonia and a barrage of illnesses from being immunocompromised.

We feel fortunate to be on this side of cancer treatment and are now dedicated to supporting families in our situation, having founded Meredith's Mission together as a family.

We are passionate about wellbeing for families and are proud to support them with creative therapies that truly encourage them to heal in their journeys and to find strength.

It's going to be 855 miles of meaning, of digging deep, of having FUN and truly appreciating the freedom we have been gifted.

Thank you for being here and for donating, it doesn't matter how small a donation - it all makes such a profound difference.
