Life After Lary Life after Lary is an organisation in the UK, created by people who have lived every brutal, frightening, isolating moment of life after a total laryngectomy. Until now, there has been no national charity focused solely on what happens after surgery. People are discharged into a world that no longer works the way it did the day before. Their voice has gone. Their breathing, eating, sleeping and confidence all shift overnight. And the truth is this. Most are left to cope with that devastation alone. Follow up support is inconsistent, minimal or completely absent. Life after Lary steps into that void because nobody else ever has. This is not another neat, well behaved health charity. It is a lifeline built by the people who actually need it. It is powered by lived experience, by scarred necks, by lost voices, by the courage it takes to rebuild a life from the inside out. That authenticity is why people flock to it. For many, it is the first time they have found somewhere they do not have to pretend they are coping. The need has been ignored for decades. Around 700 people in the UK lose their natural voice permanently every year. The physical operation ends in a matter of hours. The emotional recovery takes years.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 31st January 2026 my gorgeous and brave Mum sadly passed away at the young age of 60 to Cancer. In August 2024 my mum had a laryngectomy which is a procedure which is to remove the voice box. We feel that donating to Life after Lary is a fitting tribute to mum and what she went through. Life after Lary is a support group for people who have had a Laryngectomy and feel isolated.

Thank you for your support.
