Support for Sophie

In November 2024, our lovely friend Lizzie and her husband Keith received the most devastating news any parent could. Their beautiful little girl Sophie was diagnosed with a rare, incurable genetic condition called Battens Disease (CLN1). Sadly this disease will be life limiting therefore as a family, they are committed to ensuring Sophie has the most fulfilled life going forward. For that reason, Laura Pescodd, Natasha Niven and Lisa Coli have decided to create a series of fundraising events. We will never be able to take away the pain this family are going through but we hope the money we raise will ease any other burdens or worries.

To kickstart our events, we have planned to wild swim Loch Ness - approx 1.7 miles in width (90 lengths of a swimming pool). The money raised will go towards helping Lizzie, Keith, Chloe and Sophie to make the most special memories with their gorgeous girl.

We have created this GoFundMe page and we would be so incredibly grateful for any sponsors that you were able to spare. We plan to do this swim in Spring however it will be weather dependant so date is to be confirmed.

Together, we will continue to release details of future events all in the name of precious wee Sophie!

Thank you,

Lisa, Laura and Natasha
