Story
Every day is a constant battle, knowing that Steph could have been saved.
More money = more research = more lives saved. Steph's death will not be in vain.
On 6th April 2013, we lost our amazing Steph to an undiagnosed brain tumour. Steph had been suffering from headaches, a sore neck and dizzyness for a number of months and had been to the doctors on many occasions but had wrongfully been told she was suffering from migraines/tension headaches. Steph visited the A&E department on Friday 5th April 2013 and was sent home, being told she had another migraine and tragically, that night Steph passed away. We have since found out that if Steph had been properly diagnosed and the correct treatment given, up until the night before she died, she had a 98% chance of survival. Steph was only 24 years old.
