Received £4,000 donation last night truly touched by generosity of people & the belief they have in our charity

Maybe it's because it's a totally self-funding charity with 100% of donations going directly 2 research in C's Lab
We’re now just £3,279.70 away from reaching £350k

Onwards and upwards.

Diagnosis to death: 951 days

The average life expectancy for a woman in the UK is 82 years.
It’s hard to believe that by the age of just 9 years and 6 months, Charlotte was already halfway through her life.

One of my very favourite photos of Charlotte. Her dress sense was always so uniquely her - bright, confident, and full of life! Miss those days so much.

Brain cancer

Child loss is the abyss of grief.
There’s no end, no light, just moments where you learn to breathe again.
You don’t move on, you move with it.

Some good news today  we’ve just received a cheque for £2,000 in the post. The football shirt sold for £150, and a kind friend kindly donated £250.

Just checked our funds to date we’ve actually raised £337,683.53.

Every penny has gone directly to Charlotte’s Lab at King’s College Hospital, London, funding research into brain tumours in memory of my beautiful daughter Charlotte.

It’s been so touching to hear from so many of my former bereaved students after the news of being one of the
Pride of Britain finalists.

Sadly, there are already new students needing bereavement support. I bought these small gifts just to remind them they’re not alone.

It’s lovely to see Charlotte’s BAG included in the Annual Report & Accounts 2024/2025.

A reminder of the impact a small, self-funded charity can make raising vital funds for brain tumour research, while keeping Charlotte’s legacy alive.
September 4, 2025 at 6:00 PM
Honestly, I don’t know why, but I’m really struggling with your loss lately.

It’s 114 months today since you died.

People often ask if child loss gets easier with time. The answer is simple: no, it doesn’t. You just learn to carry the weight.

Missing you always, Charlotte.

“I feel like a 10 year old dressing up in high heels with a hairbrush as a microphone. Plenty of shoes and nowhere to go.”
Charlotte August 2015

This is the cruellest part of young people facing a cancer diagnosis nowhere to go, few friends, and little to look forward to.
