fundraiser hall of fame
Anna & Rosie
Island of Cumbrae Triathlon
"Having been aware of Mummy's Star through friends of mine accessing their support, my daughter Anna and her friend Rosie decided to complete a triathlon around the beautiful Scottish Island of Cumbrae to raise funds for the charity.
They completed a 16km cycle, 2km run and an open water swim across the bay. They absolutely loved the day and had smiles on the whole way through, even in the cold waters! We are very proud of them!"
Anna and Rosie raised over £1000 (inc. Gift Aid).

She said: I was one month out of finishing radiotherapy and it was an incredible experience to be able to use my body in such a positive way, while raising money and awareness. Lots of people hadn’t known I was unwell, so it also gave me a really positive way of becoming more public about my diagnosis. Thank you Mummy’s Star!

Tommy McGirl - April
White Collar Boxing
Tommy took part in a White Collar Boxing Match to raise funds for Mummy's Star, in loving memory of his cousin, Star Mum Kerry.
"I lost my cousin Kerry in 2020 at the young age of 29 years old after her battle with cancer but of which during her illness she gave birth to her miracle little girl Scarlett whilst also leaving behind her son Rico. Mummy’s Star were amazing to my cousin and her family and as a family we are forever grateful and want to always do what we can for Mummy’s Star.
So this year I decided to step into the ring and box in a Ultra White Collar Boxing event in memory of my cousin whilst raising money for Mummy’s Star. It was one of the most rewarding but toughest experiences I’ve ever put myself through and the fight resulted in a draw.
This night wasn't about winning to me though, it was about remembering why we’re stepping into the ring in the first place and putting myself through months of training and for me that was in memory of my cousin and to raise money and awareness for a charity close to our hearts. I had a very tough bout, got a draw, raised £1330 for Mummy’s Star and enjoyed a few well earned beers with family and friends after!"

Janey and Jodie - April
London Marathon
Janey ran the London Marathon for Mummy's Star, in loving memory of her friend and Star Mum Abi. Janey’s sister Jodie helped with the fundraising and was her number 1 cheerleader. Together they raised over £2000!
"This is in memory of Abi — an incredible friend, wife, daughter, sister, and a new mum whose life was heartbreakingly taken by cancer soon after she welcomed her beautiful baby boy, Leo.
Abi was unaware she was unwell until her baby boy arrived in the world and she felt unwell in the days after, leading to investigations in hospital, which found a late-stage cancer. Abi then died two weeks later.
Abi was truly one of a kind. She brought so much fun and laughter to the people around her. She faced everything life threw at her with strength and determination, and Janey carried those qualities with her during the marathon.
We fundraised to support raising money to honour Abi’s memory and to help other families facing the most difficult of times."
Hayley - April
London Marathon
Star Mum Hayley who ran the London Marathon for Mummy's Star!
"In 2016, a rare cancer diagnosis changed everything. Through six months of chemotherapy and the devastating loss of our baby, I feared I would lose myself. Instead, I found a strength I never knew I had.
I’m now a mother to three incredible boys and, looking back, I choose to see the light in that dark chapter. Mummy’s Star was a vital part of that light. Fundraising is my way of saying thank you - of turning my experience into support for other families facing the unimaginable. I’m not just a survivor; I’m a supporter."
