Henry Allen’s birthday to be marked in Milton Keynes with special events June is shaping up to be one of the most vital months of the year for The Henry Allen Trust as the charity marks what would have been their superhero Henry’s 17th birthday on June 18.

🎗️ PTSD Awareness Month – June 🎗️

Did you know that June is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Month?

Please remember… not all wounds are visible, and not everyone who lives with PTSD has been to war.

For childhood cancer families, our war is against the “Big C” 💔

From the moment a child is diagnosed, life changes forever. The trauma begins immediately. The fear, the uncertainty, the endless hospital stays, treatments, procedures, surgeries and devastating conversations become part of everyday life.

And it’s not just parents who are affected…

Children, teenagers and young adults can develop PTSD too.

Imagine being a child and being repeatedly poked, prodded, scanned and medicated. Imagine living through painful treatments, endless blood tests, chemotherapy, surgeries and procedures that you don’t fully understand.

I know Henry did. He was only a little boy 🥺

As parents, we do things we never thought we’d have to do. We hold our children still for injections. We watch them suffer through treatments. We kiss them goodbye before surgery and walk away praying they’ll come back safely. We battle to keep weight on them, encourage them to eat, comfort them through sickness, fear and pain, all whilst desperately wishing we could swap places.

The treatment may end, but the trauma often doesn’t.

👉 The flashbacks
👉 The nightmares
👉 The anxiety
👉 The fear

Years later, something as simple as a smell, a sound, a hospital corridor or a memory can take you straight back to the darkest moments of your life.

People often say, “At least it’s over now.”

But childhood cancer never truly leaves you.

It changes you without your permission and leaves scars that many people will never see.

Today, please take a moment to think of the incredible children, young people and parents who continue to carry this invisible burden every single day. Despite everything, they get up, put on a brave face, smile and keep moving forward. 🫶

🤷‍♀️ PTSD is real
🤷‍♀️ PTSD is exhausting
🤷‍♀️ PTSD is heartbreaking

PTSD has a lot to answer for.

At Henry’s Legacy, Team Henry understand these challenges because we’ve lived them. That’s why we are proud to work alongside the wonderful Cat, our Henry’s Well-Being Lead, helping provide vital emotional and wellbeing support to families navigating the unthinkable. 💙

To every family affected by childhood cancer: please know you are not alone.

And to every person who supports, donates and fundraises for Team Henry, thank you. Because of you, more families can access the support they need when they need it most.

Together, we can break the silence.
Together, we can support one another.
Together, we can make a difference.

💛 Meet Our June Charity of the Month – The Henry Allen Trust - Henry's Happiness 💛

Imagine being told your child has cancer.

For many families, life suddenly becomes a whirlwind of hospital visits, treatments, and uncertainty. That's where The Henry Allen Trust steps in, helping families find moments of happiness when they need them most.

The charity was founded in memory of Henry Allen, who was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma at just two years old. Despite his own battle, Henry's loving personality and incredible bravery shone through every day. Before he passed away at the age of four, he made his parents promise they would help other families facing the same journey.

Today, The Henry Allen Trust continues to fulfil Henry's wish by supporting children with cancer and their families, creating smiles, special memories, and reminding them that they're not alone.

Throughout June, The Dolphin will be raising money for this incredible charity.

🎟️ We'll be selling raffle tickets all month long, including the chance to win:

⚽ A signed Arsenal shirt signed by football legend Paul Merson

🎁 Plus a second fantastic raffle prize which we'll be revealing very soon!

Every ticket sold will help The Henry Allen Trust continue their amazing work supporting families when they need it most.

Pop in, buy a ticket, and help us turn a little bit of fun into something truly meaningful.

💛 Because every family deserves a reason to smile.
