A beloved daughter, sister and aunty, Katie's family have remembered her through their Candlelight fund since she died at just 31 years old from an extremely rare cancer.
Celebrate a life and give hope to thousands more.
What is a Candlelight Fund?
A Candlelight Fund is a special fund in memory of a loved one who has died, where all donations made in their memory create a beautiful lasting tribute to them.
This can be a private act of remembrance – donating to mark special moments like your loved one’s birthday or anniversary – or you can invite others to join in too.
There are no targets, deadlines or minimum amounts involved. This is your fund and you can grow it in whatever way feels comfortable.
