In memory of Lily Harley
Lily's Rainbow Fund exists to support children with brain tumours and their familes in memory of four-year-old Lily Harley who died in March 2023. She brought colour and sunshine to everyone she met which is why the rainbow is our symbol.

Story

Lily’s Rainbow Fund was created in memory of Lily Harley, who died of a brain tumour aged 4 in March 2023.

I met Emily (Lily’s Mum) September 2023 where we have/ are starting out our careers with East Midlands Ambulance Service. During the dreaded ‘ice breaker’ to get to know our course mates, I came to learn about her gorgeous daughter Lily Harley.

Emily shares pictures, memories and stories of how courageous, sassy and fearless her gorgeous Lily was. This charity keeps Lily’s memory alive for her family and friends and gives hope to many other children and their families searching for a cure to paediatric brain tumours.

I’ve been searching for the right fundraising challenge for months and I’ve finally decided on the Belvoir Castle Half Marathon! This will be a tough challenge for me as I only started running in January 2024 so there’s lots of training to do before then! Any support will be massively appreciated #TeamLilyHarley 🌈🦄💜

Working with OSCAR's Paediatric Brain Tumour Charity, we hope to raise money to help other children with brain tumours and their families. We also hope to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms so that earlier diagnosis can be made.

Although Lily’s time on earth ended far too soon, it has had an impact on so many. The happiness and love that she spread spoke volumes and she was a blessing. We hope that her life and legacy continue to be impactful and we will strive to make a difference to others faced with our situation.
