I’ve always loved this very special time of the year. Everything about Christmas fills my heart - celebrating the sweet baby Jesus, the warmth of family gatherings, and the chance to reflect on what truly matters.
On Christmas Day, we visit the cemetery to spend time with Jimmy. He loved Christmas so much, and for me, the day only truly begins once we’ve been up to visit him. It’s a tradition that grounds us and reminds me of the joy he brought to all our lives.
This year has been a wonderful one for the charity. We’ve had the privilege of reaching so many young people, sharing Jimmy’s legacy of forgiveness, peace, and hope. Every year, I feel this message becomes more vital and necessary, and I am so proud of the work we do together.
On a personal note, these past few months have not been easy. Being diagnosed with cancer for the second time was a tough journey. But I have so much to be thankful for - our incredible NHS, who cared for me and helped restore my health, and my amazing family, who stood by my side every step of the way.
Now, I’m looking forward to returning to work with renewed energy and an unshakable determination to bring hope and change to the lives of young people. I will never give up on trying to make a difference, and I draw so much strength from all of you.
Thank you for your love, support, and kindness. You make all the difference, and your encouragement fuels everything we do. As we celebrate this beautiful season, I ask you to keep Jimmy’s legacy of forgiveness, peace, and hope close to your heart. Together, we can continue to spread that message far and wide.
Wishing you all a Happy Christmas and wonderful New Year.
Much Love,
