Story

On the 7th November 2018, a little girl Lila had her world ended when her and her family were told that lovely Lila, aged 5, had a large and rare tumour in the middle of her brain. Almost 5 cm across at its widest point, the tumour is benign but is attached to various important structures.  Lila will require lifelong hormone replacement therapy and her vision and her memory have also been affected by the tumour i want to help as much as possible as i suffer with benign tumours myself and have had to have several operations i want her to get all the help and support available! i am going to attempt do do the walk myself ! 

 Lila has had one operation to reduce the pressure in her brain and to remove some of the tumour.  It is now felt that the risks of further surgery outweigh the benefits and the safest option is for her to receive a course of proton beam radiotherapy.  

Lila returns from the USA in April and all our thoughts from the UK are with her and her family. Mum and dad have had to give up work and dedicate their whole life to Lila and her all important treatment. We can only imagine what impact this terrible illness for Lila has caused both her and her parents and we want to help as much as we can financially, to reduce as much worry and stress as possible. It is important that all their strength and time is spent making Lila comfortable and life as enjoyable as possible under the dreadful circumstances they currently have to deal with !  forward facing is an amazing charity that also has helped alot of families make meaningful memories and offer support to all please check out their website if want more info www.forwardfacing.co.uk ! I will be giving the walk ago if you fancy it too contact luke at info@reptylers.co.uk so come on empty the pockets Thankyou !
