Story
Isla Tansey, a 7-year old girl from Hinckley, was diagnosed with DIPG in October 2017. She & her family started a phenomenal worldwide stone decorating movement called #Islastones in March 2018 which brings communities together worldwide. Sadly, Isla passed away on 10 July 2018. Isla’s family wants to share and raise awareness of this untreatable childhood cancer as there is very little funding into this area of research despite 80% of all brain tumours being in children between the ages of 5-9 years.
Check out the #islastones facebook page to see what raffles are currently running. We have many amazingly talented artists who donate their stones to help us raise as much money as we can to support the Islastones Foundation with their mission to fund childhood cancer research and help families who are affected by this catastrophic disease.
Thank you for your support
