In early 2016, I had reached a point in life where I needed to make a life-changing decision
I had lived with the consequences of multiple emergency surgeries, lost my career through ill health and could only manage around three consecutive hours awake each day.
I was prescribed a plethora of medications to try and help my body function and reduce pain, but in reality, my body and mind were becoming more and more toxic, and I found myself further away from my husband and children than ever before.
I was unable to communicate effectively, mostly due to the high amounts of opioids I was taking. I couldn’t stand or walk without support, my husband, Leslie, was my full-time carer, cutting up my food, helping me shower and put on clothes.
I had reached rock bottom and wanted to end my life. That is when I asked him to over medicate me and let me go. He refused.
Breaking stigma
Leslie had always wanted me to try cannabis as a medicine, particularly for pain management, but I refused. This is when we sat down and watched the CNN Weed documentary by Dr Sanjay Gupta. This was my first introduction to Charlotte’s story and the Stanley Brothers. After much deliberation, I agreed that I would try their CBD Oil, but we struggled to find any to buy in the UK. After struggling to source CW including paying for products that never arrived, I eventually received a care package from Joel Stanley, one of the founding brothers of CW. Within 48 hours, I was morphine free and within a month, I had managed to eliminate all prescription medicines that I had been taking. However, my next fear arose – how could I ensure access to this medicine?

In Loving Memory
Beautiful little Charlotte Figi, the namesake of Charlotte’s Web, sadly passed in April 2020, after a short illness, simply announced by her wonderful mum Paige with ‘No more seizures’. The ripples of grief have been felt all around the world. Small in stature but mighty in spirit, Charlotte’s light will shine on, and we will endeavour to hold that beacon of light and keep running with it.
Our little hero, she changed our world.
