Oliva King - Fund
The 'Olivia King Fund'
Fundraising for Children’s Brain Tumour Research Centre - University of Nottingham
Story
Born 1st December 1989 and died on 15th January 1999 aged 9 from a 'brain stem glioma’ tumour. Following diagnoses in May 1998 there was unfortunately only one prognosis. During Olivia's last year with her family she had tremendous fun. Doing all she could whilst keeping life as simple and normal as possible. Over time Olivia lost the use of some limbs and normal functions; never did she complain or ask searching questions as to any outcome or why. It was always a positive reflection. Her school friends and teachers excelled with continued support. Any medical staff she encountered (at one stage a daily routine) were the kindest, most genuine careers who catered for all her needs along the necessary medical attention. Her only moan and fear - The dreaded finger 'Pin Prick' for a blood samples. Olivia's courage throughout her ordeal was phenomenal, enhanced with uplifting environment generated by her family most importantly Mum and Sister. Her comfort blanket, 'Livvy's bay', was never distant and covered many woes. Olivia lived a full, happy and entertaining life, although so short.
A true and pure sweetheart to us all..... only ever a desire to do good and succeed in her life. 'Livvy' is with us forever, in our hearts and will always be close by.
Please give and support the research into Children’s Brain Tumours and save other young lives.
