In October 2013, Eilish, our beautiful little girl was diagnosed with a Wilms Tumour, a kidney cancer. She spent the next 12 months fighting this and being amazingly brave but on 13th October 2014, Eilish passed away.
During her battle, Eilish underwent 2 surgeries, 5 chemotherapy regimes, radiotherapy, 7 CT Scans, a Bone scan, countless cannulas and for this enitre period had a hickman line (her wiggles).
Her Beads of Courage represent her journey. Every bead represents a medical event. Collecting the beads gave Eilish so much joy and reminds us now of how immensely brave she was.
The Beads of Courage programme is sponsored in the UK by Be Child Cancer Aware and we would like to raise enough money to sponsor and maintain the programme at Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge in Eilish's memory.
You can either donate directly in Eilish's memory on her page or via an event that a team member is running. Scroll down to see them all.
In addition, some other charities have supported us and there will be some events that support them too but all in memory of our amazing little girl Eilish. xxx
Thank you Steve, Angela, Paul & Aidan
