Help send a Cuddles bear to a child this Christmas
This Christmas, we’re aiming to send 1,200 warmable Cuddles bears to children affected by cancer across the UK.
Each Warmies® Cuddles bear provides warmth and comfort during treatment, offering a little extra support when it’s needed most.
Abbie's Story
Abbie first noticed a lump in her tummy one morning. Concerned, her mum Linzi booked a doctor’s appointment, but when Abbie later developed a stitch-like pain down her side, Linzi took her straight to A&E.Following a biopsy, Abbie was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma at just eight years old.
Over the months that followed, she underwent intensive chemotherapy, stem cell treatment, surgery to preserve her future fertility, five weeks in isolation, and multiple blood and platelet transfusions.
During one of the most difficult periods of her treatment, a Warmies bear arrived. “The nurses would warm it up and put it on her tummy, and then she was able to fall asleep. It brought her a lot of comfort” said her mum, Linzi.
How you can help us deliver Cuddles for Christmas
For some children affected by cancer, Christmas won’t be spent at home opening presents with family. Instead, they may be facing treatment, hospital appointments or time away from loved ones.
Through our Cuddles for Christmas appeal, we’re aiming to provide 1,200 Warmies® sensory bears to children affected by cancer across the UK. These soft, weighted and warmable bears offer comfort, reassurance and something special to cuddle during difficult moments.
With your support, we can help bring a little warmth and comfort to children and families who need it most this Christmas.
