Fundraising for The Brain Tumour Charity
Story
Ella was my big sister Katherine's best friend and died of a Brain tumour when she was just 11 years old. I'm now old enough to help raise funds for her charity and my first attempt will be running in The Color Run at Wembley stadium with my mum on the 12th June 2016. We will be running along with some of my school friends and their mums.
A little about Ella.
Ella was a little girl enjoying life... She loved school, she loved her friends and family. She danced, she sang, and like many little girls, dreamt of one day appearing on Britain's got Talent or the X-Factor!
Not long after Ella's 10th birthday, she was taken to the hospital, and for an emergency operation on her head. Her parents were told she was very unwell.
A week later her parents were told that Ella had a very rare and highly agressive form of Brain Cancer - Gliobastoma Multiforme (GBM4). Despite putting on a really brave fight, learning to walk and talk again, Ella died on the 7th September 2013.
A few days after Ella passed away, her mum found some little pebbles in her bag that had been given to her. One had the word Live, another Laugh and then there was a heart.. LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE... it's a motto her parent's want to share as it so beautifully sums up what Ella, did and gave to the world during her all too short life - and it's a wonderful way to remember her.
So team LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE for Ella was created.
Please give generously and my mum and I promise to run our socks off!
