Story
Yang, Scott (mum and dad to Kaleigh), Emy & Sylvain (mum and dad to Zoe) will be walking 26 miles (MARATHON) in memory of our daughters Kaleigh & Zoe on this very special day 12th June to raise vital funds for DIPG research and Hospice care at Naomi House.
12th June was the day they both passed away but exactly one year apart, was this a coincidence or did they plan this? Never the less it has brought our friendship even closer.
Note: Funds raised will be shared equally between BLF & Naomi House.
Kaleigh's Story:
Back in April 2016, beautiful 6 year old Kaleigh was unfortunately diagnosed with the worst illness a parent could ever imagine, an illness that we had never heard of called #DIPG (Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma) a Childhood Brain Cancer which currently has No Cure, Less than 1% survival rate and typically only gives the children a median of 9 months to live from diagnosis.
Remember this illness does not discriminate among nationality, colour, gender or genetics but it does target the helpless young children typically between the ages of 4 & 10.
Kaleigh's parents Yang & Scott with the help of Team Kaleigh searched the world for treatments including Intra-arterial Chemotherapy Infusion Treatments and immunotherapy in Mexico, radiotherapy (the only recognised prolongation of life), complimentary Traditional Chinese Medicine, Bio-Energy Healing, Physiokey, change of diet, drinking Alkaline Water and daily foot massages to maintain her health. Unfortunately after 26 months Kaleigh passed away on 12th June 2018 and will be forever 8.
if you could help raise awareness and share this link it would be much appreciated.
