Say It How It Is

Finding purpose through pain; Childhood cancer with Morgan's Army.


Listen Later

On todays episode of Say It How It Is, Ffion and Gwen are joined by Natalie Riddler, founder of the Morgans Army Charity. On June 28th 2023, Natalie and her husband Matt tragically lost their wonderful little boy Morgan after a long and hard battle with Cancer. Throughout Morgan’s journey, Matt and Natalie fought unbelievably hard to help their son get the diagnosis and treatment he deserved, and in doing so realised that there was a missing piece in supporting children, parents and families that are suffering with an ongoing fight against childhood cancer. From this sparked Morgans Army, a charity set up with the tag line “no one fights alone”, aiming to bridge some of these gaps, and help to provide families with support during the toughest of times.

During the episode, Natalie shares openly the highs and lows of Morgan’s story, shares her favourite memories but also discusses how difficult it was and still is for them as a family. She explains how important family is and expresses the meaning behind her values, after what her family has sadly experienced.

There is incredible work being doing at Morgan’s Army and everyone at Say It How It Is hugely supports people just like Natalie, who are trying to make a difference to those in need!
