Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page..,
On the 6th august 2014 at the age of 5 keira was diagnosed with the most horrendous brain tumour known as diffuse intrinisic pontine glioma (dipg) , a terminal tumour with 0% survival rate and a life expectancy of 6-9 months. Keira stuck two fingers up at cancer and fought against the odds for 3 years, going through hell and back, she beat statistics and baffled doctors and through it all she lived every day to the fullest and taught the world to love. Keiras battle was helped by an amazing charity called funding neuro, funding neuro research and fund drugs to help children like keira take part in a new treatment called convection enhanced delivery system, without keira taking part in this treatment, she would not of survived 3 years, the ced treatment aided by funding neuro gave keira good quality life where she even returned to school. Not only do funding neuro help dipg but they also research drugs and treatment for other neurological problems such as parkinsons. I will be forever greatful for neuro surgeon stephen gill, ceo of funding neuro sharon kane and a family and their contacts for selfishly and genrously giving keira a chance . These people will forever hold a special place in my heart because without them i would of lost keira in 2015, these people made it possible for keira to be part of ced and lIve. Sadly on the 2nd august 2017 almost 3 years after she was diagnosed keira passed away in my arms, but these people that helped us have ced, not only gave keira good quality life, but by living longer we were able to show keira the best the world has to offer, she lived a childhood while fighting cancer.
on the 8th seprember 2018 team keira will be taking on their biggest challenge yet when we do the 5k inflatable obstacle course in newark to raise funds for funding neuro so that other children can be given the same chance as what keira was giving.
