About Lucy's Days Out

Lucy was just six when she developed "Rhabdomyosarcoma" a solid inoperable tumor in her head. She had harsh chemotherapy and radiotherapy which seemed to work as Lucy was well for four years but sadly she relapsed in March 2009 and lost the battle this time.

 During the last six years Lucy had wonderful holidays and days out through different charities making a 'horrible life' fun! When Lucy knew she was dying she asked if we would do special things to remember her on her birthday. This is where she came up with the idea of the charity; she even designed her own logo for Lucy’s Days Out.

Lucy died on the 23rd September 2010 after years of suffering. Unfortunately years of chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment did not work for Lucy. In Lucy’s last few months her dying wish was to help others by forming a local charity.  Keith Hartland, Jerry Holt and Peter Tanner teamed up with Julie Page to set up the Lucy’s Days Out Charity in August 2010.  The trustees, supported by a very willing committee, local businesses and many more, are committed to making Lucy’s dying wish a reality.
