Touching Lives Funds
Remember someone special
Many of our supporters have told us that giving a donation to Action Medical Research in memory - whether in lieu of flowers or on important dates through the year - is a meaningful way to remember someone special.
They know that donations made in memory of a loved one will fund more vital medical research.
Research that could help many more people enjoy a healthier future.
Fundraise in their name
We understand that these gifts in memory are incredibly special to everyone concerned.
We are honoured that families and friends choose to support us in such an important and personal way, and we know that in many cases, people like to continue giving or fundraising in that person's name.
To acknowledge this, we are setting up a very special programme called Touching Lives Funds, as a positive way of paying tribute to your loved one's memory and, at the same time, supporting Action Medical Research's essential work.
A personal way to remember
"Our beautiful and brave baby girl Lucy gave us
so much joy, love and happiness in her short
life. She loved to play, and her smiles and giggles
would light up a room.
When Lucy was taken ill, all of our lives changed forever. We knew the road ahead would be difficult and uncertain, but
we lived in hope.
Sadly, Lucy died after four months of illness, but we wanted to do something that was positive and reflected the love we all felt for her.
As a family we feel that a Tribute Fund is a lovely way to remember her, and help to fund research into a typical HUS and other illnesses.
This year, on what would have been Lucy's first birthday, all the family made donations to the Fund. We feel that a Tribute Fund means her memory will continue to light up the lives of many people in the future, just as her smile will always live on in our hearts."
