Abbie's Sparkle Foundation

Elgin, UK

Abbie's smile, sparkle and infectious enthusiasm lit up the room and that's exactly how Abbie wants people to remember and celebrate her life. Abbie (15) passed away on Christmas Day, 2017, after living with a rare form of Sarcoma for four years and four months. Christmas was Abbie's favourite day, she loved it, we believe that Abbie held on and chose the sparkliest day of the year to go. It was the sense of humour and laugh-out-loud mentality which set Abbie apart and meant she lived every moment to the full. Abbie was a vivacious and talented cheerleader who was hailed by medics as "incredible and a truly inspirational young women". One of Abbie's wishes is to raise money " towards hospitals and stuff" under the charity name Abbie's Sparkle Foundation. Abbie's Sparkle Foundation gained charity status on March 12 2018. Abbie has been spreading her sparkle in the way of gifts to raise a smile on the faces of Children affected by cancer. In October 2019 Abbie's Sparkle Lodge opened in Dalraddy Holiday Park near Aviemore. This is a Holiday Home Caravan for famlies with a child affected by cancer to have a no cost stay, to share fun times and make magical memories enjoying what the Cairngorms has to offer.
