In April me and two others will be taking part in the Southampton marathon to raise money for a charity very close to mine and many’s hearts.

Every year, having discovered the news that their child has been diagnosed with cancer, families enter either the Piam Brown Ward for 0-16yr olds, or the TYA Teenage and Young Adults Ward for 16-24yrs at University Hospital Southampton. The whole ethos of Abby’s Heroes is to place our arm around the shoulders of these families and support them during this journey. We offer Financial Grants to help with the financial burden of having your child diagnosed, practical support, Memory Making grants, Welfare Packs, Counselling service for the entire family, as well as two evening meals and a picnic lunch every week. Every single penny is vital to help Abby’s Heroes provide these services.
