Remembering Jessica Green

Haircut10

The 13th August 2017 will mark what would have been Jessica's 10th Birthday and we are holding a party at The Queen Anne pub To mark her special day.

Phoebe has decided to cut her beautiful long hair short and has asked if she can do it on Jessica's Birthday...of course we agreed.

Phoebe used to go to Jelly Babies nursery with Jessica and she remembers coming along to Jessica's amazing 4th Birthday party so this is all the more special.

Phoebe is asking for sponsors to raise money for Jessica's Fund and will be donating her hair to The Little Princess Trust. The charity provides wigs to children who have lost their own hair, so, two fantastic charities will be benefitting from this.

Jessica's story

Our Jessica was a beautiful, confident and happy little girl who lived her life to the full and had lots of friends. Jessica liked to be the centre of attention. She enjoyed singing and dancing (especially to Lady Ga Ga), dressing up and loved everything to do with Disney Princess.

Life changed for Jessica and every one who knew her in March 2011 when she was only 3 years old. Jessica was diagnosed with a rare and inoperable brain tumour called Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG). We were told there was little treatment and her life expectancy was 9-12 months.

Jessica was started on steroids straight away to relieve some of the pressure on her brain and preparations began so she could start radiotherapy. She received 30 sessions in total over a period of 6 weeks. By the end of her treatment Jessica's initial symptoms had improved and we were over the moon to hear that the tumour had reduced to half the size.

Over the next 2 and a half years Jessica went on to lead a normal happy life. She started school and met her new baby sister. We were lucky enough to go on some very memorable holidays together and we cherished every single day we had together.

In October 2013 we noticed that something wasn't quite right with Jess so she was referred for an MRI and that's when our world came crashing down. The tumour had started to grow again...this time more aggressively.

Jessica began chemotherapy treatment. We knew it wasn't a cure but we hoped it would give us more quality time together. The next few months were like being on a roller coaster. We had many over night stays in hospital. Jessica suffered with mouth ulcers, hair loss and needed numerous transfusions but she never complained. We came close to loosing her a couple of times but she came back fighting and proved the doctors wrong time and time again.

By the end of March 2014 Jessica could no longer walk , talk, swallow or move any part of her body. The only way she could communicate was with her eyes. She was fed by an NG tube and she didn't have any quality of life. The cruel thing was that Jessica knew exactly what was happening to her little body. This horrendous disease takes away your ability to do everything you take for granted but leaves you with your mind. I know Jessica was scared despite our best efforts to comfort her and that is something we now have to live with. Jessica developed a chest infection and the decision was made to go to Derian House Children's Hospice.

Jessica passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on the 1st April 2014 aged only 6 years old.

This debilitating disease robbed her of everything she loved to do and all of her dreams.

Jessica has become one of the 'long term survivors' of DIPG. She fought the evil disease until her last breath and we are so very proud of her. This is why we have vowed to continue Jessica's fight against brain tumours...in particular paediatric brain tumours.

We have teamed up with the Brain Tumour Charity and have set up a supporter group called the Jessica Green Fund.

Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under 40 but shockingly receive less than 2% of cancer research funding and DIPG research is at the back of the queue. There have been no advances in treatment for DIPG in over 50 years and most funding comes from families who have lost a child to this disease and want something done about it.

It is difficult to think that if more money had been given to this area of research our little girl may still be here today...or at least had the hope of a cure. Please help us to reach our goal.

hannahswim1

I have decided to set myself a challenge of swimming 150 lengths before Christmas.

I have always suffered with bad asthma so I never thought I could even think about doing anything like this so this is a huge challenge for me. I have now joined the gym and I'm making it my mission to complete this challenge.

I want to do this for myself and I want to raise money for The Jessica Green Fund. 

Jessica was my friend from Mytham school. She was diagnosed with a brain tumour when she was just 3 years old. Jessica was very brave, but, she lost her battle when she was 6 years old.

I want to help her family to raise money for research into children's Brain tumours in memory of Jessica.

Thank you Hannah x

I have decided to take on a huge challenge before my 65 birthday.

On 11th September 2016 I will take on a 100 mile bike ride to raise money for the Jessica Green Fund which is a supporter group for the Brain Tumour Charity. The fund was set up by the parents of Jessica after she gained her angel wings in April 2014.

Please read Jessica's story to see why research into Brain Tumours is so desperately needed.

Harveyswim

Harvey is 10 years old. He has come along to many 'Team Jessica' fundraising events and he decided he wanted to do something himself to raise money in memory of Jessica.

On 4th September Harvey is aiming to swim 2.5KM (100 lengths) at Horwich swimming baths.

It's a huge challenge for a little boy. This is the reason he is taking on his challenge.........

Why we are doing the run

Brain Tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under 40, but, they still receive less than 2% of cancer research funding.

Friends and family have worked tirelessly to raise awareness of Brain Tumour symptoms and to raise money for research into children's Brain Tumours. 

Team Jessica have recently reached £50,000 but they want to continue and raise even more money to help more families in the future.

Please consider donating. Every little goes a long way.

Angela-Higham2

I have done many sponsored events over the last few years to raise money for the Jessica Green Fund and with the help from sponsors I have already raised over £2000 for Jessica.

Now that I have been given the opportunity to run the London Marathon it's a chance for me to raise even more money for this wonderful cause.

Team Jessica

Carl Green, Craig Green, Paul Harrison, Dominic Blades, Chris Tickle, Andy Jones, Stuart Holland, Paul Woodward, Marc Dewhurst, Gaz Longworth, Barry Linley, Ben Whittle, Alistair Bennett, Stephen Hayton.

The Bike Ride

The lads will be taking on a 140 mile coast to coast bike ride over 3 days. They will be starting off in Whitehaven on the Irish Sea Coast, passing through the northern section of the Lake District, riding to the summit of Hartside pass then on to the outskirts of Newcastle where they will complete their ride in Tynemouth. It's not going to be easy!!

The Cause

Funding Neuro is a fundraising effort to open up a clinical trial to treat children with DIPG. They need £900,000 to start.

In Bristol a team lead by Professor Gill has been treating children with DIPG with a new method of direct drug delivery called Convection-Enhanced Delivery (CED). The technique has been found to be safe and has shown some promising signs that it is effective.

They aim to identify new drugs for the treatment of brainstem tumours in children using this new method of direct drug delivery into the brain.

This is the closest thing we have to finding a cure for DIPG in the world.

Tiegan-kirkpatrick

Tiegan Kirkpatrick is a friend of Jessica's from Mytham school. She has decided that she wants to help to raise money for Team Jessica. Tiegan would like people to sponsor her to cut off her lovely long hair into a short bob. Her hair will be donated to a charity that makes wigs for children who have lost theirs for a variety of reasons, so, two wonderful charities will be benefitting from this.

Tiegan will be having her hair cut at the Queen Anne pub in Little Lever on 27th September.

All money raised for the Jessica Green Fund will go directly towards research into children's Brain Tumours. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Fleetwoodrun

I heard about Jessica in 2012 after a friend told me her story and straight away I knew that I wanted to help. I decided to run the Manchester Marathon to raise money that would benefit Jessica and her family.

It was a gruelling run with rain, hail and a wind chill factor of minus 5 degrees...it was sheer hell!!! But with Jessica in mind the whole time I knew I had to do it. She ran with me all the way and got me through the finish line. I managed to raise £800 for Jessica and her family and they put the money towards a trip to Disneyland Paris.

I have kept in touch with Lisa and that is how I heard about the Jessica Green Fund and all the wonderful charity work they have done, as a result, I have decided to now run the Fleetwood half Marathon in August for 'Team Jessica'.

As many of you will know the Manchester Marathon in 2012 was sadly my last run as I had a slipped disc and had to have major surgery to remove it in 2014, however, after 12 months rest I ready to do it again for Jessica!!

Please support this worth while cause. All money raised goes directly into research into children's Brain Tumours.

Jessica developed a chest infection and the decision was made to go to Derian House Children's Hospice.

Jessica passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on the 1st April 2014 aged only 6 years old.

This debilitating disease robbed her of everything she loved to do and all of her dreams.

Jessica has become one of the 'long term survivors' of DIPG. She fought the evil disease until her last breath and we are so very proud of her. This is why we have vowed to continue Jessica's fight against brain tumours...in particular paediatric brain tumours.

We have teamed up with the Brain Tumour Charity and have set up a supporter group called the Jessica Green Fund.

Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under 40 but shockingly receive less than 2% of cancer research funding and DIPG research is at the back of the queue. There have been no advances in treatment for DIPG in over 50 years and most funding comes from families who have lost a child to this disease and want something done about it.

It is difficult to think that if more money had been given to this area of research our little girl may still be here today...or at least had the hope of a cure. Please help us to reach our goal.

Any donation is welcome and greatly appreciated.

Jessica's story and the reason we are doing the bike ride

Our Jessica was a beautiful, confident and happy little girl who lived her life to the full and had lots of friends. Jessica liked to be the centre of attention. She enjoyed singing and dancing (especially to Lady Ga Ga), dressing up and loved everything to do with Disney Princess.

Life changed for Jessica and every one who knew her in March 2011 when she was only 3 years old. Jessica was diagnosed with a rare and inoperable brain tumour called Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG). We were told there was little treatment and her life expectancy was 9-12 months.

Jessica was started on steroids straight away to relieve some of the pressure on her brain and preparations began so she could start radiotherapy. She received 30 sessions in total over a period of 6 weeks. By the end of her treatment Jessica's initial symptoms had improved and we were over the moon to hear that the tumour had reduced to half the size.

Over the next 2 and a half years Jessica went on to lead a normal happy life. She started school and met her new baby sister. We were lucky enough to go on some very memorable holidays together and we cherished every single day we had together.

In October 2013 we noticed that something wasn't quite right with Jess so she was referred for an MRI and that's when our world came crashing down. The tumour had started to grow again...this time more aggressively.

Jessica began chemotherapy treatment. We knew it wasn't a cure but we hoped it would give us more quality time together. The next few months were like being on a roller coaster. We had many over night stays in hospital. Jessica suffered with mouth ulcers, hair loss and needed numerous transfusions but she never complained. We came close to loosing her a couple of times but she came back fighting and proved the doctors wrong time and time again.

By the end of March 2014 Jessica could no longer walk , talk, swallow or move any part of her body. The only way she could communicate was with her eyes. She was fed by an NG tube and she didn't have any quality of life. The cruel thing was that Jessica knew exactly what was happening to her little body. This horrendous disease takes away your ability to do everything you take for granted but leaves you with your mind. I know Jessica was scared despite our best efforts to comfort her and that is something we now have to live with. Jessica developed a chest infection and the decision was made to go to Derian House Children's Hospice.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm raising money for Jessica Green Fund. Jessica was a little girl who went to the same school as my own two children, sadly on the 1st April 2014 at the age of 6, she lost her fight with this debilitating disease.

I feel this is something I want to do as it is close to my heart, having two young children myself.  So I have decided to do the Manchester to Blackpool bike ride with other parents and teachers at the school.

They all agreed to take part in the Junior and mini Great Manchester Run...They even managed to rope their coaches into taking part!! The run will take place on 9th May 2015. All the boys are really excited about doing this run, but, they need lots of support so please help them.

RoyWalker2

Roy and his family have know about Jessica's battle with a Brain Tumour from the beginning. Jessica attended the same nursery and then went on to go to the same school as their little girl.

Jessica and Lois became good friends and because of this Roy and his family want to help raise money for The Brain Tumour Charity. We are extremely grateful they have decided to join 'Team Jessica'.

On the 10th May  Roy will be taking part in the Great Manchester Run and in September he will be taking on the Tough Mudder. Please give him lot's of support and any donation will be greatly appreciated.

Team Jessica - Pretty Muddy Challenge

This team is: Lisa Mcloughlin (Jessica's mum), Catherine Tickle, Kathryn Willett, Vicky Evans-Jones, Joanne Frost and Jessica Clarke.

Team Jessica - Manchester 10K

This team is: Catherine Tickle, Joanna Harrison, Michael Hargreaves, Catherine Jackson, Carrie Dearden, Matt Dearden, Jeff Schryer, Nigget Saleem and Kiran Patel.

We have never done anything like the pretty muddy before and believe me both of these events will be a challenge for all of us!! When I told the girls that I had set up the Jessica Green fund, without any hesitation, they all wanted to get involved with anything I was planning. As well as many other events we decided to do something together to raise money as 'Team Jessica' for Brain Tumour research.

Michael heard about our fundraising efforts and wanted to get involved and suggested the 10k. Catherine, Carrie, Matt, Jeff, Nigget and Kiran have also recently signed up to the run too and we are over the moon they have joined our Team. Brain Cancer Research is desperately underfunded and needs all the support it can get.

Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under 40 but shockingly receive less than 2% of cancer research funding and DIPG research is at the back of the queue. There have been no advances in treatment for DIPG in over 50 years and most funding comes from families who have lost a child to this disease and want something done about it.

Jessica was started on steroids straight away to relieve some of the pressure on her brain and preparations began so she could start radiotherapy. She received 30 sessions in total over a period of 6 weeks. By the end of her treatment Jessica's initial symptoms had improved and we were over the moon to hear that the tumour had reduced to half the size.

Over the next 2 and a half years Jessica went on to lead a normal happy life. She started school and met her new baby sister. We were lucky enough to go on some very memorable holidays together and we cherished every single day we had together.

In October 2013 we noticed that something wasn't quite right with Jess so she was referred for an MRI and that's when our world came crashing down. The tumour had started to grow again...this time more aggressively.

Jessica began chemotherapy treatment. We knew it wasn't a cure but we hoped it would give us more quality time together. The next few months were like being on a roller coaster. We had many over night stays in hospital. Jessica suffered with mouth ulcers, hair loss and needed numerous transfusions but she never complained. We came close to loosing her a couple of times but she came back fighting and proved the doctors wrong time and time again.

By the end of March 2014 Jessica could no longer walk , talk, swallow or move any part of her body. The only way she could communicate was with her eyes. She was fed by an NG tube and she didn't have any quality of life. The cruel thing was that Jessica knew exactly what was happening to her little body. This horrendous disease takes away your ability to do everything you take for granted but leaves you with your mind. I know Jessica was scared despite our best efforts to comfort her and that is something we now have to live with. Jessica developed a chest infection and the decision was made to go to Derian House Children's Hospice.

Jessica passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on the 1st April 2014 aged only 6 years old.

This debilitating disease robbed her of everything she loved to do and all of her dreams.

Jessica has become one of the 'long term survivors' of DIPG. She fought the evil disease until her last breath and we are so very proud of her. This is why we have vowed to continue Jessica's fight against brain tumours...in particular paediatric brain tumours.

We have teamed up with the Brain Tumour Charity and have set up a supporter group called the Jessica Green Fund.

It is difficult to think that if more money had been given to this area of research our little girl may still be here today...or at least had the hope of a cure. Please help us to reach our goal.

Any donation is welcome and greatly appreciated.

We have chosen Derian House as one of our charities to support in memory of 'our princess' Jessica Green.

Jessica was diagnosed with a terminal Brain Tumour called Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) in March 2011 when she was only 3 years old. Jessica battled the evil disease for 3 years but sadly passed away at Derian House in April 2014.

We were introduced to Derian House in November 2013. Since then Derian House have provided much needed support to both Jessica and our family. The staff have been amazing and the facilities there helped Jessica to live her final days in comfort and surrounded by her close family.

Loosing a child is the most devastating thing a family can go through. The facilities at Derian House meant that Jessica was able to remain there after she had passed away. This brought us so much comfort to know that she was still being looked after and it gave our family extra precious time to say good bye to her.

The staff still continue to support our family. They hold annual forget-me-not services and offer counselling which is invaluable to us.

Derian House is such an important facility to many children and their families and this is why we have chosen to support them. Any donation would be most welcome and greatly appreciated.

Thank you xx

We have teamed up with the Brain Tumour Charity and have set up a supporter group called the Jessica Green Fund.

Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under 40 but shockingly receive less than 2% of cancer research funding and DIPG research is at the back of the queue. There have been no advances in treatment for DIPG in over 50 years and most funding comes from families who have lost a child to this disease and want something done about it.

It is difficult to think that if more money had been given to this area of research our little girl may still be here today...or at least had the hope of a cure. Please help us to reach our goal.
