A teenager who died suddenly from an undiagnosed brain tumour has been honoured during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
teenager Ella McCreadie placed 11 tiles on the Wall of Hope at the Brain Tumour Research Centre of Excellence at The Institute of Cancer Research to represent the 11 days of research they are sponsoring in Ella's memory.
Ella was a fun-loving, active and healthy girl – a loving daughter and big sister to Shay and Niall, who were seven and 10 respectively when she died.Ella was just 13 when she died in December 2022 "I remember thinking I’d get Ella an appointment with the GP the next day just for a check-up. But devastatingly the next morning was too late.
“Funding into research to bring about better outcomes for brain tumour patients has been woefully neglected for years. We’ve seen radical improvements in survival rates from leukaemia and breast cancer due to substantial investment into research, but not for brain tumours, where treatment options have barely changed in decades.”
Sophie said: “I hope the money we’ve raised, with the help of our super-supportive community in Ellesmere, is life changing. It won’t bring Ella back, but I hope it makes a difference for families in the future.
