\n Hosted by the Ellis Edwards Foundation at Ferndown Forest Golf Course, the\u00a0charity event will feature an 18-hole golf tournament, live music, a BBQ, a raffle and silent auction with bespoke and unique items up for grabs on Thursday, 11 September.\n<\/p>\n
\n The Ellis Edwards Foundation was founded by the parents of Ellis Edwards,\u00a0a five-year-old boy from Bournemouth\u00a0who died in 2024 after he was was diagnosed with high-risk, stage 4 Neuroblastoma in March 2019.\n<\/p>\n

\n Carly and Eddie said:\u00a0“Ellis taught us that you must continue to live life to the full, no matter what you are going\u00a0through.\n<\/p>\n
\n “He lived life with the biggest smile on his face and did everything he could to help\u00a0others, even though he was going through so much himself.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The foundation aims to ease\u00a0the emotional burden of childhood bereavement by offering accessible, inclusive, and\u00a0therapeutic experiences.\n<\/p>\n
\n Through grief breaks, counselling, and community connection, the\u00a0foundation helps children and their families to process loss, build resilience, and rediscover\u00a0moments of joy, together.\n<\/p>\n
\n Funds raised from the event will directly support the foundation’s initiatives, such as supporting bereaved children with days out, family trips and the opportunity to process their emotions.\n<\/p>\n
\n The family added:\u00a0“We experienced first hand, the lack of support available for parents and families once a child\u00a0has sadly passed away, and that\u2019s where the Ellis Edwards Foundation will help.\n<\/p>\n
\n “The charity enables children to take time away from their grief, because these children need to know it\u2019s ok\u00a0to keep smiling, keep laughing and living life \u2013 just like Ellis did through his whole cancer\u00a0journey.”\n<\/p>\n
\n While the golf day is already sold out, the silent auction is open to all members of the public and closes at 3pm on September 11.\n<\/p>\n
