A little while ago, I was asked if I could donate a raffle prize to help raise money for Teddy, who was diagnosed with DIPG — a rare, aggressive and currently incurable brain tumour. 💙
On this occasion, I politely declined the request for a raffle prize, but it wasn’t because I didn’t want to help. Instead, I wanted to offer something that I felt would mean so much more to Teddy and his family — a casting, gifted from me, to create a precious keepsake and a memory they can treasure forever. 🤍
And today was the day I finally got to meet Teddy.
What an absolutely amazing little boy he is. 🥹💙 He was such a little superstar throughout his casting and, to my absolute delight, he loved every minute of it!
Being able to meet Teddy and create these special memories for his family is something I feel incredibly honoured to have been able to do.
Life can be so incredibly unfair, and whilst I know a little casting can’t change what Teddy and his family are facing, I hope that this gives them something beautiful to hold onto — a little piece of Teddy, captured just as he is now, and a memory they can keep close to their hearts forever. 🤍
Thank you to Teddy and his family for allowing me to be a small part of your journey. It truly was a pleasure to meet you all. 💙
Keep being your amazing self, Teddy. You’re one very special little boy. ✨
Teddys mum is climbing the Yorkshire Three Peaks for Teddy on 19th September 2026, she will be raising money for A Touch of Joules, a charity that is incredibly close to their hearts. A Touch of Joules, was created in loving memory of an extraordinary little girl called Joules. In May 2024, Joules was diagnosed with DIPG, and despite her incredible courage and strength, she sadly passed away in December 2024. Her legacy lives on through this amazing charity, which continues to support children and families affected by DIPG while raising awareness of this cruel disease.
If you’re able to help by making a donation, no matter how big or small, or simply by sharing Teddy’s story, please do. ❤️
