Story
**In Loving Memory of Nicole**
We are heartbroken to share the story of our beloved Nicole, who was diagnosed with a brain tumour in December 2022 at just 14 years old. Despite the devastating news of her stage 4, incurable, and inoperable condition, Nicole faced her battle with incredible courage and grace.
Nicole underwent a biopsy of her spine and began an intensive course of radiotherapy. Unfortunately, due to the aggressive nature of her tumour, she only received 10 days of treatment instead of the planned six weeks. Despite the challenges, Nicole remained determined to continue her education and spent precious time with her friends, even managing to take her GCSE mock exams.
Throughout her journey, Nicole showed an unwavering love for science. She visited Oxford University, the Didcot Space Centre, and animal parks, and created unforgettable memories on family holidays in Turkey. She attended reggae festivals and supported her favourite football teams, West Bromwich Albion and Brackley Town FC.
As Nicole’s condition progressed, the tumour spread from the brain stem into the main brain. In November 2023, she underwent surgery to fit a shunt to drain fluid from her brain. Tragically, during the procedure, it became clear that the tumour had advanced significantly, leading to a massive bleed. On December 1st, Nicole was moved to Helen & Douglas House for end-of-life care, where she passed away peacefully on December 27, 2023, leaving a profound impact on all who knew her.
To honour Nicole's memory we are raising funds for a headstone and memorial bench at her grave, where her loved ones can go to spend time with her. This memorial will serve as a lasting tribute to her vibrant spirit and the joy she brought to our lives.
During Nicole’s journey, her single mother Bethan had to take out a loan to fund Nicole’s last year of life, stopping work to care for and provide the best memories for Nicole. Therefore any excess funds will go towards clearing the substantial debt that Bethan has been left with.
**Please consider donating to help us create this special tribute for Nicole. Any contribution, no matter how small, will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your support in keeping her memory alive.**
With love and gratitude.
