On 5th January 2025, Gilly's world changed in an instant. Gilly suffered a sudden seizure without warning and collapsed into her dad's arms. Just two days later, on the 7th January, she received devastating news -she I was diagnosed with an aggressive and fast-growing brain tumour. The doctors said it could happen to anyone.
Determined to fight, Gilly underwent emergency brain surgery on 16th January, where an incredible UK National Health Service (NHS) team managed to complete a near-total resection of the brain tumour. Now, as Gilly progresses through NHS standard radiotherapy and chemotherapy, she is focused on having the best possible chance at survival.
Why Gilly Needs Your Help
Cancerous brain tumours are relentless, and while standard treatments help, they are not enough. Gilly needs targeted therapies or immunotherapy, which are groundbreaking treatments that have shown promising results in extending and improving quality of life.
However, this treatment is not available on the NHS and comes with an overwhelming price tag of £250,000. Without it, Gilly's chances are drastically reduced - but with it, she has a real fighting chance to kick cancer.
We are reaching out to family, friends and the kindness of strangers to help Gily raise the funds needed for life-saving immunotherapy. Every single donation, no matter how small, brings her closer to her goal.
Thank you for standing with Gilly in this battle. Your support means everything. The funds raised will be used for immunotherapy or alternative medical treatments, as well as for general care and welfare. Should any funds not be used they will be donated to a cancer related charity.
