Supporting Young PTLD Sufferers
Love From Lucy is a charity based in Hampshire for solid organ transplant recipients up to the age of 21 years old who are being treated in UK hospitals and who develop Post Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder (PTLD). This is a rare cancer that patients can develop at any stage after their transplant.
How You Can Get Involved
Ways you can help
If a financial contribution is not feasible at the moment, there are still ways to support this cause. You can help us spread awareness by sharing our campaign on social media, forwarding this website to your friends and family, or organising fundraising events within your community.
Businesses can help
Sponsoring young adults with PTLD is an opportunity for your business to transform lives, contribute to a greater cause, and inspire others in the process. By providing support, resources, and hope, you can empower these resilient individuals to overcome their challenges and fulfill their dreams.
We invite your business to take part in this transformative journey. Together, let’s make a lasting impact and bring smiles to the faces of young adults fighting PTLD.
Charity Fund
We are seeking support and donations to empower young cancer patients as they bravely battle this relentless disease.
Every year, many children and adolescents face the harsh reality of PTLD. These resilient fighters demonstrate unimaginable strength, enduring rigorous treatments and challenging circumstances that no child should ever experience. Together, we can make a difference in their lives and provide them with the support they need.
What We Do
We can give young patients something personal and soothing during treatments:
Love From Lucy Basket – Age-tailored care packs with cosy socks, lip balm, books, music, games or art supplies.
Please ask your Cancer Nurse Specialist (CNS) or Hospital Social Worker (HSW) to contact us in the first instance.
Our Story
Why did Lucy need a transplant?
Lucy was born with very complex heart defects.
She was diagnosed with an aggressive form of PTLD. Unfortunately this was a battle too big for her and she sadly passed away on the 28th March 2021, aged just 21.
Lucy Pearson is the driving force behind this charity. She never let her health and disability get in the way, and always had a smile on her face.
