Our Ambassadors
I am Christine and I am honoured to be chosen as an ambassador for Abbie’s charity. From the age of two, I witnessed first-hand her amazing zest for life, her outrageous and hilarious sense of humour, her fun loving spirit and her pure and utter determination to just be happy, despite her ongoing issues. It was down to the financial support of her family and charities like ASL that she managed to live life to the full and we enjoyed many sparkly trips and adventures together. I believe this was Abbie’s reason for founding her charity as she knew just what it meant to have a special treat when life was dealing her a bum card. It is a time in my life I will never forget. Abbie will be forever etched in my own family’s memories and we will always strive to ‘be more like Abbie’ every day. I am very proud to help Abbie to spread sparkles and to continue to bring comfort to the children who need it most.
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. ✨
To me, Abbie’s kind sparkly heart is at the centre of everything her foundation does. I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to support the ‘Sparkle family’ Abbie created to fundraise and help other children and their families experience a bit of sparkle in their lives, in whatever way they need during the hardest of times.
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.
