LIGHT UP OUR CHRISTMAS TREE

Light up our Christmas tree and remember a loved one

You can let your loved one's light shine with a personalised message and photo.

“We’re adding a light to the tree to remember all the children who have become angels. Knowing our donation will fund research to help more children with neuroblastoma really means a lot to our family.”
