Willow is a national charity established in 1999 by Arsenal footballer and BBC sports commentator Bob Wilson and his wife Megs as a lasting memorial to their daughter, Anna, who died of cancer aged 31. It is the only national charity to provide special days, breaks and treats for 16- to 40-year-olds facing a range of life-threatening conditions.
Every special day aims to provide beneficiaries and their loved ones with a break from the realities of their diagnosis and treatment and the inspiration to make the most out of life. At a time of uncertainty, spending quality time with family and friends can help restore a sense of normality, boost confidence and create precious memories for the future.
To date, Willow has provided more than 22,500 special days for young adults living with serious illnesses including cancer and rarer conditions such as motor neurone disease, cystic fibrosis and Huntington's disease. 2024 saw the charity reach the milestones of both 20,000 special experiences and 25 years of supporting seriously ill young adults. The importance of having something positive to look forward to at such a difficult time cannot be overestimated as it provides precious memories and respite for the beneficiaries and those close to them.
The charity receives no government or lottery funding and is totally reliant on the generosity of individuals, companies and trusts to fund its work. David Seaman MBE, and his wife Frankie, became honorary presidents of the charity in 2023, working alongside Bob and Megs.
Among the charity's ambassadors are Pat Jennings OBE KSG, Natasha Kaplinsky, Mary Nightingale, Ian Wright OBE and Alfie Boe.
