Our aim is to build and run a respite lodge on Mercia Marina in Willington, providing much needed joy and restfulness, in a setting immersed in nature.

This is Hannah’s Legacy - this is what she wants to give back. After a devastating diagnosis at 19, Hannah has undergone treatment for a rare and aggressive for of brain cancer, Glioblastoma (GM4) and was given 15 months to live. Following endless chemo and radiotherapy, weight gain from steroids, rapid weight loss and total hair loss, over two and a half years later she is still here and fighting.

The inception of the lodge will see us changing the lives of families with a child age 13-24 who is suffering from this dreadful disease. Bringing families together in a neutral, nurturing environment, away from all the reminders of their reality following a devastating diagnosis. Immersed in nature, but most importantly only seven minutes from the closest A&E department, should the eventuality arise. Please help us achieve our dream!
