Story
Our baby girl, Ruby, was diagnosed with a brain tumour in February 2021 just after her 1st birthday. She underwent surgery at Great Ormond Street in July 2021 to remove as much of the tumour as possible and to alleviate the epileptic seizures. We are eternally grateful for all the help and support we have received and I am pleased to say that Ruby has been seizure free since the operation. We are now in the process of monitoring the remaining tumour.
Ruby is thriving and keeping us all on our toes :)
I am trying to raise as much money as possible for the Brain Tumour Charity to help Ruby and other's in her situation. Brain Tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under the age of 40. It saddens me that over £700m is spent on cancer research in the UK every year, yet less than 3% is spent on brain tumours.
"The Brain Tumour Charity is the world's leading brain tumour charity and the largest dedicated funder of research into brain tumours globally. Committed to saving and improving lives, we're moving further, faster to help every single person affected by a brain tumour. We're set on finding new treatments, offering the highest level of support and driving urgent change. And we're doing it right now. Because we understand that when you, or someone you love, is diagnosed with a brain tumour a cure really can't wait."
