Today I was speaking with Mandy, who is my franchisee in Scotland and she told me about a fundraising event she will be helping at soon in memory of Alexis Rose.
It brought tears to my eyes when she told me the story below -
“Alexis Rose Tribute Fund”
Alexis Rose, our beautiful baby daughter, was 16 months old when she died very suddenly of meningitis this year. She had bags of personality and was by nature a fighter- born nearly 3 months early and weighing 2lb 12 ounces she spent a while in hospital alongside her twin sister but quickly grew in strength. She was always laughing and making us laugh, we will never forget her toothy smile and the way she would look over to make sure people were watching before she did something naughty. She was so happy and healthy and we never dreamed that anything could ever take her away from us, but meningitis ended her life within hours. We have decided to continue Alexis’s fight and refuse to let meningitis beat us by raising money to fund research into this terrible illness.
This is a very sad story and I hope the fundraising that Mandy is assisting with, will help to raise vital funds to aid the research into meningitis.
