8years ago when I was first diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma… going through it was tough.. some days happy , some days was hard! Your emotions all over the place , not really knowing what to feel , But this amazing Charity gave me and my partner a special day which was a weekend away, it gave us time to forget everything , for to feel like me again. So me and my mum are walking Half a marathon to raise money and give other amazing humans there Special day. To give them some hope and love.

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 1,200 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.
