On the 26th August 2024 we were given the devastating news that our daughter, Pippa, had a brain tumour. 1 month away from her second birthday.

We were taken into a side room and delivered the unthinkable news that we would need to be taken by ambulance to Birmingham Children’s hospital to their neurology ward.

What followed was the hardest and most heartbreaking week of our lives. We had to navigate 3 surgeries, 3 days in intensive care and not knowing what was going to happen hour to hour.

Our story is not over but we have had an incredible amount of support from all the staff at the children’s hospital and we will always owe them for saving our daughter’s life. She continues to recover on the high dependency ward at BCH.
