Well Child Awards 2026 

Last night I had the privilege of attending the WellChild Awards ❤️

And I’m not sure I’ll ever quite find the right words for evenings like that. It was truly humbling, emotional and so very inspiring
. 
I was completely out of my comfort zone, but sitting in that audience listening to the stories of these incredible children, young people, their families and the amazing nurses, I had this overwhelming thought that I still can’t believe our family is one of those families.

Even after five years, it still doesn’t feel real.

You hear stories of bravery and courage. Of families navigating hospital stays, treatments, uncertainty and a life they never imagined they would have to live. And then you remember that we lived that life too.

That Dylan lived that life. ❤️

There were definitely moments last night that took me straight back, but there was also so much hope and positivity in the room, that you couldn’t help but feel uplifted ✨

WellChild does incredible work supporting children and young people with complex medical needs and the families around them. Hearing what they have achieved over the last 20 years was genuinely inspiring.

And it left me thinking about The Dylan Strong Foundation.

We are still such a young charity. We have so much we want to do, so many families we want to reach and so many things we want to change.

Sometimes I get impatient because I want to do it ALL now.  But last night reminded me that these things take time.

And if we keep showing up, keep listening to families, keep fighting for better support and stay completely focused on why we started where could The Dylan Strong Foundation be in 20 years?

That thought gives me so much hope.

Because ultimately, everything we build is for Dylan and for every family sitting in a hospital room living a life they never thought would be theirs. ❤️

Thank you WellChild for a very special evening, and for reminding me just how powerful a mission can become when people refuse to stop believing in it.

And huge thank you to @laurahamiltontv for inviting me ❤️
