Cancer is the biggest killer of children aged one to 14 in the UK. Help build the new Children's Cancer Centre at Great Ormond Street Hospital and beat cancer for more children.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have decided to try and raise some money for GOSH on behalf of a family that lost their beautiful youngest daughter last August at the tender age of just 2 years old. She was diagnosed at 20 months old with a brain tumour known as medulloblastoma which is extremely rare but at the same time the most common brain tumour in children.

Orla underwent several operations, chemotherapy and was given the all clear in April 2023. Sadly the tumour came back bigger and stronger and sadly there was nothing GOSH could do, and sadly lost her battle on 12/8/2023, just over 2.5 years old.

No child should ever go through what Orla went through, and no family should have to endure what her family have, and still are.

You can read her full story here, get the tissues ready!!

If you can spare even just £1, that would be greatly appreciated by myself and Orla’s family. Any money raised will go towards a new children’s cancer centre at GOSH, and be in memory of Orla.
