When Natasha and Lance Beatty lost their five-month-old daughter Lahna Tula, they were determined to ensure a lasting legacy for her.
So, in 2009, they launched the Lahna Appeal in her memory to fund both pioneering and routine equipment for Southampton Children’s Hospital.
To date, the family have raised over £100,000!

Lahna would have been ten years old now and we’re so excited that this year we’ve raised £100,000 in her memory. We are extremely proud of everything we’ve accomplished, and want to thank our friends and the community for their continued support. We could not have done it without you.
