Story
Now don't laugh but i'm running in the great Manchester 10k run on Sunday 16th May 2010. I'm hoping to raise money to help the Maisy Rose Project, so please dig deep and think of me on that day ahhhh!!!!
On Fathers Day 2009, Maisy Rose Bolus, a 14 month old little girl, was diagnosed with a large extremely rare brain tumour. This was following 4 months of unsuccessful visits to her GP with persistent morning vomiting and cough.
After 3 Major operations and 2 cycles of Chemotherapy, it was clear that this cancer was extremely aggressive and that her treatment hadn't worked.
Mum, Dad & her Uncle Trev trawled the world relentlessly looking for treatments that could save Maisy's life. Further surgery was planned to buy time for Proton Therapy in France or the USA, but following her pre-op MRI, the scan showed major tumour activity and metasteses through her whole Central Nervous System. She was now inoperable.
Maisy was taken home to spend her last days with her Mummy, Daddy & Big Sister Molly at home in the love and comfort of her own surroundings.
Sadly, at 4am on the 5th October 2009, Maisy moved on and left her disease behind to play in the stars with her Grandpa.
Her short life will be remembered through The Maisy Rose Project as we carry on her fight through research to help find cures for what are now the biggest killers of all cancers.
The Maisy Rose Project is raising funds to plough into the research of rare Brain Tumours so that Maisy can help children & families in the same situation.
Maisy's family, Kev, Claire & Molly would like to thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers and continuing support during Maisy's fight.
If you can help by donating in any way thank you so much
