My name is Emilia, also known as Mimi, and I was diagnosed with DIPG in August 2025 right before I started year 6!

My life has been turned upside down. I don’t get to dance or play like I used to, but Abbie’s Army has funded a clinical trial which I am currently at in Great Ormond Street Hospital in London which cost over £100,000.

I am fighting hard to beat the cancer. I know everything apart from prognosis, because I will keep fighting. So far thanks to the trial of Car at cells my tumour has reduced. Without the hard work of Abbie’s Army, I wouldn’t have a chance. So I want to help other children like me have a chance, which means I need donations to support new trials.

DIPG NEEDS A CURE!

I am NOT a statistic.

I am Emilia,

I am 11,

I love to dance, act and sing,

I love my family and friends,

I love to make people smile,

I am really good at maths,

I want to get married and adopt,

I want to get a good job helping people,

I want a normal life,

I wish this cancer didn’t exist,

I deserve a chance and so do other children like me.
