The Megan Hurley Foundation emerged from the tragic events experienced by the Hurley family. At the time of the attack, Michael and Joanne Hurley were a hard-working, self-employed couple, who ran a local sandwich shop for over nine years. However, their world was shattered on May 22, 2017 - when they lost their cherished daughter Megan in the attack at the Manchester Arena. Additionally, their son Bradley, aged 20, sustained critical injuries in the same incident, spending over a month in the Manchester Royal Infirmary Hospital. Bradley's injuries required extensive care, meaning Joanne and Michael had to dedicate themselves to his rehabilitation which ultimately lead to the closure of their family business.
Understanding firsthand the financial strain and lack of support faced by self-employed families during times of crisis, the Hurley family resolved to create the Megan Hurley Foundation. This foundation aims to provide short-term assistance to self-employed families grappling with the sudden loss of a child, assisting with financial burdens during their time away from work.
Additionally, the foundation may extend support to other charitable causes benefiting children, with eligibility determined by its trustees. Through these efforts, the Megan Hurley Foundation seeks to honor Megan's memory and offer support to those navigating similar challenges.
