So what’s up next for The Larissa Foundation???

Whilst we await charity status, we will continue to support charities through a just giving site! Our charity trustees have got together to discuss who we’d like to support next.

So now for the announcement 📣

In January & February 2026, the Larissa foundation will be supporting SUDC: SUDDEN UNEXPLAINED DEATH IN CHILDHOOD.

Before we knew that Larissa had leukaemia we were given the details of SUDC, they were really supportive and matched me with several other families who had lost children. Nikki Speed was an amazing support and I often reached out to her when I was at my worst. They also have an office in America and have helped me to sort out the post mortem report- they’ve provided much more support than our NHS. They also continue to write to me and even sent me a Christmas card- remembering Larissa.

SUDC is the unexpected death of a child aged between 1-18 years that remains unexplained. Around 40 children are affected every year in the UK, comparable to 1-2 seemingly healthy children dying every fortnight, often going to sleep and never waking up. SUDC UK is a registered charity dedicated to awareness, research and family support.

I will forever be grateful for their support and wanted to show my thanks so please help me to do so by raising as much money as we can for this amazing charity ⭐
