Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Brainbow at Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge  is a unit that funds and provides a pioneering rehabilitation service in the East of England for all children with brain tumours. Brainbow is funded by charitable donations but is not a charity itself. Brainbow's aim is to help children with brain tumours reach their full potential.

The reason I am taking on this challenge to support Brainbow is because my daughter Grace, two years ago was diagnosed with a low grade glyoma which is a benign brain tumour in the centre of her brain. Grace is 9 years old. She has undergone a lumbar puncture, blood tests and a number of MRI scans and numerous check ups. She will continue to have MRI scans and check ups for the indefinite future. Graces tumour is in an area of the brain that renders it inoperable.

To help Grace and the family deal with what she is going through, we are under the expert care of Brainbow who have helped make the whole process more manageable and less stressful and scary for Grace.

All money raised will go directly to Brainbow. The money will fund equipment needed for children's assessments along with Christmas and Easter parties and the funlympics. The funlympics are the Olympics in the summer held for all children using Brainbow.

About the charity

We want to ensure that every patient at Addenbrooke's and the Rosie hospitals experiences the highest quality of care available. We raise funds for cutting edge technology, additional specialist staff and extra comforts for patients, over and above what is possible with NHS funding alone.
