It all started in 2018.…

It was a completely life-changing year for our family...but we are now ready to move onwards and upwards. Justin and I both feel very passionately about helping others going through a similar situation. 
We were shocked at how little help there is out there for families like ours.

Justin works as a full time designer, and I purposely created a job that would fit around the children. Upon diagnosis, my income went as I (Fler Wright) had to stop my classes The Baby and Toddler Experience. Suddenly we were on our own. There was no help out there for us as I wasn't eligible....and knowing we didn't want others to go through it like we did, ignited a little flame inside our hearts - and thats how the idea all began. We have now set up a charity to help families in practical ways through their cancer journeys.

The name came about as we love the acronym YOLO (you only live once) so we thought we'd change it to to WOLO - we only live once! We have lived by this ethos for years as a family, so it fits perfectly.

Life is a blessing and we need to enjoy it doing the things we love, with the ones we love. We are passionate about promoting this - and that it shouldn’t take a life event to make you re-evaluate your life, how you enjoy things or who you spend your time with.

Justin (AKA Designerwright) has been working on the brand identity. The L in Wolo has been subtly made to look like a 1 - as in ‘we only live once’. D’ya see what he did there - he’s so clever isn’t he?! We went with yellow, as its bright and happy. We have a range of merchandise if you’d like to help get the word out there about what we do by wearing Wolo.

If you could start hashtagging #WOLO if you manage to snap a WOLO moment with your family, or if you see any inspiring posts/photos or quotes and would like to share them with us, that would be fantastic!
