Steph's Story

On the 20th July 2018 Steph was diagnosed with a grade IV Diffuse Midline Glioma, one of the most aggressive cancerous tumours known in the world, which primarily affects children. Over the next 17 months Steph continued to dance, fight, love and grow to influence many people on her journey. 


Our beautiful Steph passed away on 27th October 2019  

What we admire most about Steph was the love she had for people, living each moment to express her joy for people. During the final months of Steph’s life here on earth she was encouraged by the love and care she received and wanted to help other people who were “in an even worse place than her”. Whilst receiving treatments Steph would set aside her money to donate to help others who needed it more.

Why we support who we support

Although much too short, Steph's life well lived! She was a determined faith filled visionary, a collaborative, goal-oriented and caring person who loved life and all that it offered. 


Steph spent most of her adult life working with and around children, understanding the enourmous opportunities to influence these young minds and souls toward the beauty and wonder of life. Seeing the profound difference this was making only encouraged her more, untill her last moments Steph was still focused on how she could help.


It's this very attitude of selflessness that inspires this foundation to support kids through the toughest of times, to bring light, love, life and hope in the darkest and challenging of times. 

"Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal."
