Emma Murphy
Hi I’m Emma, a mother to two young kids with a job in marketing and an obsession for all things sporty. My innate drive comes from my sporting background which I always try to replicate in family life and my career.
Being a close friend to Leanne and seeing what she and her family went through, made me realise even more how vitally important it is to have the support and help available to families during a very difficult time in their life. It is an honour to be a part of Sophie’s Stars and knowing the difference it could make to others.

He is very aware of the importance of support networks in helping families to cope with illness and bereavement and his experience will help to ensure that as Sophie’s Stars grows it manages its financial and other responsibilities appropriately.
