Our Ambassadors
Hi I am Abbie’s Nana and I am honoured to be an Ambassador for Abbie’s Sparkle Foundation.
I cannot run Marathons or do the Ben Nevis Challenge, but my daughter Tammy says I “have the energy of an extra strength Duracell battery” so, I have plenty of energy!! I will work hard and do all that it takes to enable more “Sparkles” to be spread to help other children and families whose lives have been affected by cancer. This was our Special, Brave Abbie’s wish, let’s do her proud.

My name is Helen and I am Abbie’s very proud Granny. Being an ambassador for Abbie’s Sparkle Foundation is a great privilege and enables the love felt for Abbie to go on and on through helping with her wish to fundraise for children hospitals and stuff.
“I feel privileged to be part of this amazing girls legacy. Her strength, courage, sassiness and fabulously witty sense of humour was there for everyone to see.
Keeping Abbie’s sparkle going and sharing it with other kids is what this foundation is all about…. it’s what Abbie wanted.
We need to embrace life and always smile for our kids.
Sparkly Abbie will forever be in our hearts?”

I have known Russell for more than 20 years and regularly joined in with charity events such as the Burghead Boxing Day swim and other activities over the years, and was delighted to be invited to join the Lands’ End to John O Groats charity cycle team in 2017. During that trip, I realised just how inspirational Abbie and her family are and was enormously honoured to be asked to be a trustee of Abbie’s Sparkle Foundation.
I’m Hazel, and became acting big sister to Abbie when I coached the girls cheerleading. Having experienced first hand the difference a little sparkle can make when dealing with cancer diagnosis and treatment, I love supporting Abbie’s own charity to do this for others. Working with the charity that was Abbie’s own vision, I feel privileged to be a part of such a good cause. Abbie and her sparkle live on through us and the work we do on her behalf. ✨
I am delighted to have been asked to be an Ambassador for Abbie’s charity because when I was younger I looked up to Abbie as she was kind, really fun and very brave. I feel really privileged to be able to help raise money to carry on doing kind things for kids who are having to be as strong as Abbie was.
I feel honoured to sparkle for Abbie & be involved in her mission to spread positivity and light to the lives of many beautiful children who are sadly affected by cancer. I have always been in awe of Abbie’s strong & determined attitude and this is carried into the aims of Abbie’s charity. While sparkling at charity events and listening to the stories of families touched by Abbie, you can truly see how far Abbie’s community is growing 💖
Coming from Elgin, I was always aware of Abbie’s inspiring story and when I was asked to be an ambassador last year I jumped at the chance to help such an amazing cause in Abbie’s name, and spread sparkle and light to those who really need it most. Helping children and families who are affected by cancer is a small part we can play to make their lives a little brighter and I’m honoured to be a part of Abbie’s Sparkle Foundation.
Abbie is inspirational to me. Seeing her positivity and sparkle despite all life through at her really put into perspective how important your attitude and priorities are in your life. As an ambassador I want to spread Abbie’s sparkle and help others who want to live life to their full potential in whatever way that means for them. I am honoured to spread Abbie’ Sparkle, to raise awareness, and of course, help hospitals and stuff.
Emmie is excited to join the Sparkle team and carry on Abbie’s Sparkly tradition, having known Abbie as a cheerleading inspiration and senior role model when she was younger.
After attending some of Abbie’s events with her family, Judy became so enthralled with Abbie’s Sparkle Foundation that she made the decision to join the team!
Iris was regarded as Abbie’s younger sister and is the younger sister of Emma, Abbie’s best friend. Iris, who was just ten years old when Abbie passed, grew up surrounded by Abbie and her sparkle, thus it is extremely meaningful for her to actively promote her charity.
After working as a volunteer for us at a music festival, Phoebe joined the Sparkle Team. She expressed her pride in helping to assist the charity and raise money for kids with cancer.
Since the beginning of Abbie’s charity, Ann, Sparkle Nana’s best friend, has been Sparkling for her.
Ria, a cheerleading world champion from Scotland, is friends with Iris and was motivated to focus on cheerleading by Abbie. At the age of 17, she recently joined us to promote Abbie’s Sparkle.
An Aberdeen-based student of marketing, Alice, Emma’s friend, expressed her wish to volunteer her time to Abbie’s Charity after seeing the amazing work Abbie is doing with Emma’s help.
Emma’s other half, Cameron, has been unofficially sparkling for Abbie in Aberdeen for the past three years. We believed it was time for him to adopt a more appropriate title! He too has worn the Easter bunny suit!
Another childhood friend of Abbie’s is Daisy, a trainer accountant who never fails to Sparkle with a smile at fundraising events.
Introduced to ASF by friends Gill and Christine, Clare a primary school teacher and mum of two boys has seen the Sparkle Foundation flourish and expressed a desire to help.
Abbie’s proud godmother, Lynne, has been a member of the Sparkle Team since the beginning, as has her daughter, Katie.
Abbie knew Alan and Emma, Megan’s parents, while she was a student at West End Primary School, when the children all attended the same school. Having them as ambassadors makes it even more special.
We are delighted to welcome Rose to our Ambassador Team. Rose knew Abbie as a fellow ASCD Cheerleader, training and competing together over the years. Rose joins us to support Abbie’s legacy with funds and awareness raising and also plans to do more further afield in Stirling where she is attending University
