Remembering Hannah

​

As we look back on what Hannah meant to so many, we want to share how we’ll come together in her name.

A private funeral will be held, attended by Hannah’s family, giving them the opportunity to say goodbye and begin to come to terms with her passing.

​

A celebration of Hannah’s life is being planned and will take place in London. This will be open to everyone who knew her, worked with her, or was touched by her kindness, courage, and love. We hope many of you will join us to share memories and remember Hannah together.

We’ll share more details soon.

We are heartbroken to share that Hannah Deacon died on Tuesday 6 May, surrounded by those who loved her, after a short and brutal illness. She was just 45. 

 

This devastating loss to Hannah’s beloved partner Drew, and children Alfie and Annie, is impossible to put into words.

 

Hannah was remarkable: determined, tenacious, and fiercely compassionate. Her fight to find treatment for her son Alfie’s rare and severe epilepsy led to a breakthrough that changed his life and ultimately changed the law. She went on to transform the lives of thousands of patients and families, never stopping in her work to push for better access, better care, and a better understanding of medical cannabis.

 

More than anything, Hannah’s most proud and important role was being a mum. Alfie and Annie were her world. She adored them. Everything she fought for came from her enduring love for them and wish to make the world kinder and fairer.

 

Hannah was our brave, beautiful partner, daughter, sister, and friend. She made us laugh, made us think, and made us feel stronger just by being there. All of us are better for knowing her.

We only wish we could have had more time.

 

We will share more in the days ahead to honour Hannah’s life, her work, and the legacy she leaves behind.
