Elly Monaghan was a loving wife, mother of three and grandmother of six and my auntie. She was diagnosed with a glioblastoma (GBM) brain tumour in 2022 after slurring her words and sounding very confused and devastatingly, Elly died in July 2023, just 14 months after diagnosis.

I am fundraising in her memory, for the Brain Tumour Research Fundraising Group, Elly's Herd, and I hope that you will support me.

Brain tumours are the biggest killer of children and adults under 40 of all cancers and yet historically, only 1% of the national spend on cancer research is allocated to this devastating disease.
