Geri Weedon (Geri Graham)

Hi, my name is Andy Branson, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for your help. Two beautiful young girls, Annabelle (10) and Charlie (6), lost their amazing mother, Geri, just yesterday after a brave and grueling three-year battle with ovarian cancer. Their lives have been completely turned upside down, and their world will never be the same again.

Geri was only 46—a loving wife, devoted mother, and a fiercely strong woman. She leaves behind her husband, George, and their two little girls, who now face the heartbreaking reality of growing up without her. Tragically, so many of their memories will be of their mum fighting this illness, rather than the vibrant, loving woman she was before.

I’m hoping to raise funds to support these two sweet girls—to help with their education, their futures, and to offer them some comfort as they navigate what will undoubtedly be an incredibly challenging path ahead.

George, their dad, is one of my oldest friends. We met as kids in the UK and even moved to Australia together for a gap year. In 2011, George met Geri, the love of his life, and they married in 2015. Next Thursday would have been their 9th wedding anniversary. For the past year, George has devoted himself entirely to caring for Geri, putting his career on hold and pouring his energy into being by her side. This has taken an unimaginable emotional and financial toll on their family.

With no life insurance, George is now faced with the pressure of returning to work next month while grieving the loss of his soulmate and stepping into the overwhelming role of raising their daughters alone. He is a loving, committed father who has already endured more than anyone should in a lifetime.

I’m asking for your generosity—whether it’s a little or a lot—to help support Annabelle and Charlie during this incredibly difficult time. Any funds raised will go towards their upbringing and education, and perhaps even a small, much-needed holiday to bring a glimmer of joy back into their lives after these devastating years.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for any support you can offer. Together, we can help these girls find hope and strength in the midst of heartbreak.
