We created Fenn Foundation to support the charities who supported Fenn and us, his parents, during the most difficult time of our lives. We aim to provide these charities with the resources they need to continue offering life-changing care and support to other children like Fenn and their families facing the unimaginably difficult journey of having their child in hospital.
