Shine For Sally

23/04/2026

Thank you Thursday

Here's the second installment of this week's epic ! We absolutely love you lot 😍

💚 Super sibling Jasmine Shaw ran the Manchester Marathon 2026 at the weekend, raising a phenomenal £4,525 for the hospice that cared for her brother, Joel, in the weeks leading to his passing in February 2020.

💚 Derian mum Sarah Merrishaw took the leap, completing a bungee jump and raising a brilliant £700 for us in the process.

💚 Kevin and his friends at Preston Bike Binge completed their 12th annual ride-out last year, raising an exceptional £2,997.25 for the families in our care. Since the Bike Binge began, the crew has raised over £20,000 for us!

💚 Derian parents Richard and Jo - founders of Shine for Sally - presented us with a cheque for an astonishing £4,079, money of which was raised at the charity's annual ball in memory of Sally.

💚 In celebration of Alex's 19th birthday, House of Little Things sent us a wonderful book called 'Rain Before Rainbows' as a reminder that rainbows always follow the rain.

Very proud to present Derian House and Milly’s Smiles with their cheques from the money raised at Shine for Sally 5 💜

Each year we come together to celebrate & remember Sally & raise money for these two truly amazing charities. It is a rollercoaster of emotions - there are smiles, laughter, tears & sadness. But days like today make it all worthwhile.

Thank you so much to everyone who supported, contributed & made this possible- we are so grateful💜

💜SHINE FOR SALLY 5💜

Last November, we came together once again to dance, sing, remember, and celebrate Sally at Shine for Sally 5.

The love and support was truly amazing, and we are so grateful to everyone who performed, attended, donated, and helped make this event happen.

Because of you all, we are delighted to share that Shine for Sally 5 raised an incredible £8,158 for Derian House and Milly's Smiles.

Together, we’ve helped Sally’s light continue to shine while supporting families who need it most.

Thank you! 💜💜

💜LIGHT UP THE PIKE 💜

Last night, we came together to Light Up The Pike to celebrate Sally’s 19th Heavenly Birthday — and our hearts are so full.

Thank you to every single person who walked with us, stood with us, and shared in this special moment.

These anniversaries are always easier to get through when we are surrounded by friends, and last night was a true reminder of how blessed we are to have so much love & support.

Sally’s beautiful smile, her spirit, and her light continue to shine — in the purple glow, in the memories we share, and in every act of love and kindness.

Thank you to the Village Green Tea Room,Rivington. for our delicious supper — it was enjoyed by us all.

Forever our daughter, our sister, our friend, our angel.
Forever loved. 💜🕊️
