Julie decided to use her 60th birthday as a way to remember her son, Daniel, and raise funds for LancHospCharity 💙
Julie Appleby organised a raffle and tombola plus asked her 120 guests, who partied to local band The Brothers of Swing, to make a donation to the appeal in lieu of a gift.
Including a donation from Julie’s company, New Springs Family Care Ltd, which she founded shortly before Daniel died in 2017 of a catastrophic brain haemorrhage when he was just 32-years-old. “It became a second home in that it was somewhere Daniel felt safe and comfortable and where we as a family felt well supported.”After reading about the Children’s Appeal, which is aiming to raise £1 million for a wish list of items to bring about a raft of improvements to children’s in and outpatients at the Royal Preston Hospital, and all other children’s facilities managed by Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Julie felt compelled to get involved in tribute to Daniel.
Appeal fundraiser Lucy Clark confirmed: “We are hoping to start work on refurbishing the parents’ area very soon. Our aim is to make it a calm space for parents to take time out.“They will be able to make hot drinks and fresh food so they are not relying on vending machines. We are incredibly grateful to Julie, her family and friends for supporting the refurbishment project.
