how precious life is.”
About Molly’s Fund
Molly’s Fund has been set up by the National Hospital Development Foundation in memory of five-year old Molly Lane Fox. Molly tragically died in July 2008 following a seven-month battle with a brain tumour. It is the hope of Molly’s parents and all those who knew and loved Molly that you will do what you can to support this appeal in Molly’s memory.
The £2.5 million Brain Tumour Unit Appeal began in 2008 and so far £1.8 million has been raised. We’ve used the money to get both the Clinical Database and the Brain Tissue Bank up and running. Almost all the medical staff are in place and a substantial amount of the equipment has been purchased – but we can’t stop here...
All that remains to be done is the refurbishment and final equipping of the 14-bed ward itself. We also need to provide initial funding for a dedicated palliative care specialist and nurse, to help with end of life care. Altogether this will cost £1 million. If we can generate the funds we need by October, building can begin this year and be completed before Christmas 2010.
