Alicia-Adele was the adored little sister of three elder brothers and a loving, caring daughter.

On 10 April 2025, 11-year-old Alicia awoke with a numb arm. Later that day, she felt numbness in her face and leg. Two days later, an MRI scan revealed the unimaginable – an inoperable diffuse midline glioma. Just 15 days after the first signs appeared and 13 days after diagnosis, Alicia passed away.

In her short final days, Alicia remained her selfless, funny, loving self, comforting other children and keeping her bright spirit alive. She was brave beyond measure.

In her memory, Alicia’s mum, Amanda wants to turn heartbreak into hope so that other families don’t have to lose a child in this way. That is why she’s creating Alicia-Adele's Angels, a Fundraising Group for Brain Tumour Research, as a legacy for her loving, kind and caring daughter.

One in three people in the UK knows someone affected by a brain tumour. This disease is indiscriminate; it can affect anyone at any age. What’s more, brain tumours continue to kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer yet, to date, just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease since records began in 2002.

Brain Tumour Research is determined to change this.
