Remember someone special

Touching Lives Tribute Funds and In Memoriam funds are a special way of celebrating the life of someone special.

Tribute Funds

Gifts made in memory are incredibly special to everyone concerned. For this reason we have set up our Touching Lives Tribute Funds, which offer you a more meaningful way to remember a loved one and support medical research to help save lives or change the lives of people struggling with debilitating medical conditions.

Tribute Funds can also be set up by those who have experienced a life-threatening illness and are celebrating their survival or they can be used to fundraise in someone’s name.

Set up your Tribute Fund

Our first Touching Lives Tribute Fund was set up by Anne and John Netherway in memory of their daughter, Lucy.

Our beautiful and brave baby girl Lucy gave us so much joy, love and happiness in her short life. She loved to play, and her smiles and giggles would light up a room. When Lucy was taken ill, all of our lives changed forever. We knew the road ahead would be difficult and uncertain, but we lived in hope.

Sadly, Lucy died after four months of illness, but we wanted to do something that was positive and reflected the love we all felt for her.

As a family we feel that a Tribute Fund is a lovely way to remember her, and help to fund research into atypical HUS and other illnesses.

On Lucy's birthday, our family make donations to the fund. We feel that the Tribute Fund means her memory will continue to light up the lives of many people in the future, just as her smile will always live on in our hearts.

In Memoriam

Another way of celebrating the life of a loved one is by donating in their memory. Simply ask friends and family to make donations to the charity in the name of your loved one. Some families ask that donations are made instead of sending flowers, for instance.
