Story

07/09/2018

Kids’ Cancer are absolutely devastated to share the news that on the morning of September 7th, 2018, Jess gave her last roar.

Jess has inspired us throughout her fight, always smiling as she beat ‘Boris’ each time. But neuroblastoma is a cruel disease which has high relapse rates and Jess showed unbelievable bravery each time it happened.The thoughts of everyone at Solving Kids’ Cancer are with Jess’ family. 

We will always #RoarForJess as we fight neuroblastoma.

Her family posted this on social media: “It is with great sadness we have to tell you that Jess gave her last roar and gained her angel wings this morning. She passed away peacefully.I would like to thank you all for your support. Nanny and grandad would like to thank our children for their unwavering commitment and love, we couldn’t have done the last 7 weeks without them.

We are going to take some time for ourselves and ensure that Taylor and Mia are protected during this difficult time. We are absolutely devastated, heartbroken doesn’t even cover it. We will post next week when we have details of Jess’s FUNeral.
