 Billie Butterfly Fund raising money for child brain tumour research
We have opened a new Just Giving page to raise money for child brain tumour research through Brain Tumour UK. Please give what you can to help beat this terrible disease.
Billie Bainbridge is a 5 year old little girl with an inoperable brain tumour. The Billie Butterfly Fund was set up to raise funds for her treatment. Thanks to the generosity of so many people we have reached our main target. We now want to raise much needed funds for child brain tumour research. Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children in the UK but research is woefully underfunded.Â
ABOUT BILLIE:  Until the beginning of June 2011, Billie was just like any other lively 4 year old little girl, full of life and looking forward to starting school. Then without warning she began to show signs that something was wrong. Within days she was diagnosed with the worst type of brain stem tumour, so dangerous that surgery is impossible. As if this wasn’t bad enough, a few months earlier Billie’s mum Terri was diagnosed with breast cancer. See Billie’s Diary for news of her progress and Billie’s Story for more about her story.
