We're climbing the 3 Peaks Donate Fundraise In Memory of Debs 💜 On 5 April 2024, we lost a truly special person and a very close family friend after a courageous and determined battle with aplastic anaemia. Debs was one of the most loving, passionate, caring, funny, brave, thoughtful and genuinely kind people that so many of us were fortunate enough to know. She had a remarkable ability to make everyone around her feel valued, supported and loved. Her warmth, infectious laugh and unwavering kindness touched the lives of all who knew her. Throughout her illness, Debs chose to keep much of her journey private. She found it difficult to explain what was happening to her body, what the future might hold, and the treatments she was facing. Despite the uncertainty and challenges, she faced every day with incredible strength, courage and dignity. The loss of Debs has left an immeasurable void in the lives of her family and friends. She was a shining light whose presence brought joy, comfort and happiness to so many people. While our hearts remain broken, we are eternally grateful for the years we were blessed to spend with her and for the countless memories we created together. To honour Debs' memory and celebrate the extraordinary person she was, Fiona and Susan are bravely taking on the Three Peaks Challenge, pushing themselves physically and mentally in tribute to a woman whose courage inspired everyone around her. Every step they take will be in memory of Debs and the incredible strength she showed throughout her journey. Through this fundraiser, we hope to raise awareness of aplastic anaemia and support causes that help others facing similar battles. Any donation, no matter how small, will help us honour Debs' legacy and ensure that her memory continues to make a positive difference in the lives of others. Thank you for your kindness, generosity and support. Most importantly, thank you for helping us remember an incredible woman who will never be forgotten. Forever in our hearts, Debs. 💜 What is aplastic anaemia?Aplastic Anaemia is a rare type of bone marrow failure. It's where the bone marrow stops creating all kinds of blood cells. It's really rare and affects 1 in every half a million people. Aplastic anaemia treatment is very similar to the treatment someone might have for leukaemia - but because it's so rare, families often don't have access to the same information and support. The Aplastic Anaemia Trust is the only charity in the UK dedicated to supporting people affected by aplastic anaemia and funding research into this rare form of bone marrow failure. By donation you'll be.... Providing support. The AAT are determined that everyone diagnosed with AA in the UK should have someone to talk to - someone who really understands what they’re facing Funding some really exciting research, which could mean more treatment options, and a deeper understanding of why current treatments work for some people and not others Enabling research and improving treatment for aplastic anaemia, means that in the future no-one will have to lose someone they love to this condition. That’s why we're asking you to donate for the future of AA research and support. Thank you for your support. Susan and Fiona Manage Cookie Preferences
