About us

The people behind Little Ripples

Little Ripples is guided by people who bring lived experience, professional expertise and a shared belief that no child should face a family cancer diagnosis without support.

Keri Bird

Founder & Volunteer CEO

Little Ripples began with Keri's own experience. In early 2025, aged 37, she was diagnosed with stage one, grade 3 breast cancer while living alone with her two daughters, then aged nine and four.

Her first thought was not for herself, but for her children, and how on earth she would explain what was happening to them. Looking for guidance, she found kindness and compassion, but very little structured support designed specifically for children facing a parent's cancer diagnosis.

That gap became the reason Little Ripples exists. Keri now leads the charity as Founder and Volunteer CEO, driven by the belief that when something as life-changing as cancer happens in a family, the ripples reach far beyond the patient.
