Neve was devastated to be dying. She wanted to grow up and to be a parent and a doctor. Yet in her short life, she touched so many people and it is clear that her impact will live on.

Even before her death and in the time after, her life and her story has influenced the actions of so many. It is not just that people have read about or heard about Neve. It is deeper and more complex than this; Neve’s ripples are the positive changes that will be her legacy.

These ripples may appear small and invisible or, conversely, visible to all. They may impact just one person or whole communities and groups. These ripples are already travelling far and wide and having an impact.
