Lyuba is suffering from a diffuse brain tumour, which means it has no clear boundaries. Some parts of the tumour cause epileptic seizures.Removing them is the only way to cure epilepsy. Doctors in Moscow would perform the operation, but first they have to establish exactly where the parts are. Because the tumour borders the hypothalamus, Lyuba is gaining weight, there’s no way of controlling this process. Large weight means she can’t undergo lengthy surgeries—her heart wouldn’t be able to take it.Doctors have to be quick and precise.

To achieve this, they need invasive diagnostics. It isn’t available in Russia, but the specialists of the University Hospital Bonn,in Germany, are prepared to carry it out.

Lyuba needs £40,000 for the chance to become healthy again.During the Mad Tea Party, we were able to gather £25,000.The remaining £15,000 needs to be collected asap.This is an enormous sum for her family, so we are turning to you for aid. Let's help Lyuba overcome this gruelling trial!
