Story

Molly May Lane Fox was a beautiful and fun loving four-year old when she was diagnosed with a Diffuse Pontine Glioma. A malignant tumour that needs a million cells to see it and once you can see it, it’s too late. Although radiotherapy bought some precious and happy time with the family, tragically, Molly died just before her fifth birthday.

Five years on many more patients now have access to a streamlined service from a team of dedicated specialists and participation in research and clinical trials has grown significantly.

We are delighted to announce we have now reached our £500,000 target, which has enabled the Molly Lane Fox Unit to double in size (from 12 to 24 beds) - and this will be open to patients in October 2017.

About the charity

There are 14.7million people – that’s more than one in six – in the UK living with a neurological condition. Here at the country's leading neurological centre, we’re passionate about supporting the hospital to help improve the lives of patients through treatment and research.
