This special memorial tree was created by Diana in memory of Jill Maree Vawdrey. With your help, we're committed to funding world-class research towards one uncompromising goal: Zero Deaths from breast cancer.

In Memory Of

From

In memory of Jill and her fight with breast cancer, we want to honour her memory by supporting research.

Hello friends and family,

We’ve created this page because we have lost a very special person to breast cancer and want to honour Jill's memory.

One of Jill's final wishes was that if people are able, they make a small donation towards breast cancer research.  We are inspired by the National Breast Cancer Foundation’s work and want to help them raise much needed funds for this research, and a future where no one has to lose a loved one to breast cancer.

Please help us honour Jill's memory using the ‘Donate’ button. 

The more people that know about the National Breast Cancer Foundation, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing our page with your friends and family.

Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot to us - and to Jill.

My Updates

Our beautiful Jill

Friday 12th Apr
Jill passed away on 10th April 2024 after a 5 year battle with breast cancer. Never a quitter, she fought the thing with all the strength she could muster. We thought we’d lose her early in 2023, but as Jill would say “well that won’t be happening” - she managed to get through. Moved in back home with her beautiful boy Leo. He brought a smile to her face every day. 
Unfortunately the cancer took its toll on her body, and she was just so very tired.

We love you mum, nanny, Jilly - our beautiful Jill. Always. 

Thank you to my Sponsors

Dearest Jill, Goodbye my beautiful friend. I have so many wonderful memories of our 35 years of friendship that I will treasure forever. I miss you so much and your great sense of humour where we would laugh so much together. You had such a kind heart, you were compassionate, caring and funny. I am so grateful to have had you as my dear friend all those years. I will miss our phone chats where we would laugh so much. We could always pick up where we left off. No more pain for you now. Rest In Peace dear friend. I love you. 🙏🕯️❤️ xxx

My dearest self-proclaimed Godmother. I spent many years with Mum and yourself as a child. You watched me grow up. You were her rock, and she was yours. The memories and connection we had to her, I will never forget. Even though I had lost a Mother, you had lost your best friend. We were always in this together. I am so grateful to have found each other again years later. We shared many wonderful memories, and reminisced of our past. I’ll forever cherish those moments. We shed many tears over Mum, but always found comfort in each other. You were always your true authentic self., and no one could change that. You radiated happiness, and was always there for others. A complete and utter social butterfly with positivity in every step. Two best friends are now reunited 🕊️

We only met a handful of times but we got on like we’d known each other for years. I put that down to the fact that you were a wonderful human being with a big heart & a wicked sense of humour - it wasn’t hard at all to love you. Thank you for all the support & especially the laughs. I will miss you but I know where to always find you - in my heart. ❤️
