Willow Foundation

 

The Willow Foundation is a national charity set up by Arsenal legend, Bob Wilson and his wife, Megs, in memory of their daughter Anna, who died of cancer aged just 31. The Willow Foundation funds and organises special days for seriously ill 16 to 40 year olds throughout the UK.

Special days aim to provide young adults living with life-threatening conditions a chance to escape the pressures of their daily routine and share quality time with family and/or friends.

Every special day is of the young person's choosing - it could involve fulfilling a lifelong dream or it could simply offer an opportunity to bring some much needed normality back into their lives.

The Foundation will endeavour to fulfil the special day request however imaginative and, if possible, exceed expectations.

To date the charity has organised and funded special days for young adults living with a wide range of serious conditions including amongst others; cancer, motor neurone disease, cystic fibrosis, organ failure, multiple sclerosis (later stages) and heart disease.
