Story
I'm fundraising for East Anglia's Children's Hospice - it was a place Daisy loved visiting in the last few weeks as she battled her brain tumour. Daisy died on the night of her 7th birthday - you can read more of her story below or by visiting fordaisyanddipg.com and www.facebook.com/fundraisingpagefordaisy
On the 3rd of May 2014 the Brooks family received devastating news, their beautiful 6 year old daughter Daisy was diagnosed with an incurable DIPG brain tumour.
Daisy went from being a normal child at school one day with no sign of illness to hospital the next and was having radiotherapy by the following week.
At the time, Daisy’s parents, Louis and Anna, were told that there was no hope of a cure but that radiotherapy would buy a little extra time to make precious memories with their daughter and that if they were lucky they could expect a few weeks of ‘good health’ before the symptoms took hold and their little girl would start to slip away
Beautiful Daisy got her Angels wings at 3.20 am on 17th November 2014. She past away having spent her 7th birthday the day before surrounded by loved ones and left in peace shortly afterwards.
Her dignity and bravery has helped to pave the way in pioneering a cure for DIPG brain cancer. We will not stop raising awareness of this condition or funds to help find that cure to help the children and families so unfairly affected by this cruel illness.
