It was Ripley’s kindness and compassion that helped her family to get through the difficult times during treatment and give them the strength now to keep going without her.

Ripley had a positive impact on the lives of everyone she met and was a kind and empathetic little girl who didn’t like to see anyone else sad or in pain.

Ripples of Compassion was set up in her memory so she can continue to help others and her kindness and compassion can spread a little hope and light into the world.

Whilst one way we do this is through the support we provide to children with cancer/life limiting conditions and to bereaved parents and siblings we also like to remember Ripley’s kindness on her birthday.

So each year on her birthday (30th January) we ask everyone to share a random act of kindness in her memory. Here are some Ripley inspired kind acts to get you started.
