Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

This collection is in honour of my husband Patrick, who succumbed to HLH on 23rd October 2026 after just an 8 week period of illness.

This is a rare, life threatening, largely unknown disease which needs more research & funding to help improve the time it takes to diagnose & commence treatment, which in turn will improve the chances of survival.

Patrick was a generous, kind, loyal & loving family man. He always helped others where he could and he deserved to live a long & happy life.

Instead of funeral flowers, we would be grateful if you could make a donation, large or small to help with more research into this devastating disease in the hope that no other family has to experience the heartbreaking loss of a loved one to HLH.

Many thanks,

Lindsey & family.
