Since 2014

Daisy is a little spitfire.

Her contagious joy, laughter and strength radiates within her, helping her to persevere in whatever struggles she has had to endure. She was only six years old when she was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma. A type of aggressive brain cancer. Her doctors told her parents that if her cancer came back, there was nothing they could do as her cancer didn't respond to therapy a second time.

When it came back, just days before Daisy's eighth birthday, we all knew we were in the ultimate fight for her life.

With this fund, we hope to work with some of the top doctors to increase survival rates and HOPE for children who have relapsed disease.
