My Story
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. This March I’m walking 10,000 steps a day throughout the month to help beat cancer sooner. My reason is Kimia. Kimia is Charlotte's 10 year old school friend and in April 2016 she was diagnosed with a rare brain tumour called diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). The tumour is located in the middle of the brain stem making it hard to operate on. The tumour has affected Kimia's movement, speech, vision and other functions and she is no longer able to go to school. The Royal Marsden has treated her initially and are supporting the family's needs. However, there is no treatment option available on the NHS so Kimia's family have resorted to private medical care. I am raising funds for research at the Marsden and also for Kimia' treatment in Germany. Please please dig deep and spare whatever you can to help this beautiful little girl. You can donate to The Marsden or directly to Kimia's page www.savekimia.com. Thank you and please give generously.
