Urgent Appeal – Help Gilly Access Life-Enhancing Brain Cancer Treatment Now
On 5 January 2025, Gilly’s life changed in an instant. She suffered a sudden seizure and collapsed into her dad’s arms—without warning, without any prior symptoms. Just two days later, on 7 January, she received devastating news: she had been diagnosed with an aggressive and fast-growing brain tumour.
Determined to fight, Gilly underwent urgent brain surgery on 16 January, where an incredible NHS medical team successfully removed 97% of the tumour. Now, as she starts standard radiotherapy and chemotherapy, we are doing everything we can to give her the best possible chance of survival.
Why Gilly Needs Your Help
Cancerous brain tumours are relentless. While NHS standard treatments help, they are often not enough. Gilly urgently needs Targeted Therapies or Immunotherapy, cutting-edge treatments that have shown life-changing results in improving survival rates and quality of life.
However, these treatments are not available on the NHS and come with an overwhelming cost of £250,000. Without them, Gilly’s options are limited—but with them, she has a real fighting chance.
How You Can Help
We are calling on friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers to help raise the funds needed for Gilly’s life-enhancing treatment. Every single donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to our goal.
Here is how you can make a difference:

Gilly is a fighter - full of strength, love, and determination. She lights up the lives of those around her, and we refuse to let this diagnosis define her future. With your generosity, we can give her the best possible chance to keep fighting, keep living, and keep inspiring her students.
