Mountain hike for Evie!
Donation protected
On Saturday the 14th of September I have decided to treck across the Brecon Beacons mountain range in Wales to help raise hopefully £500 for little Evie, her story is below, please take a moment to read it especially if you are a parent, it really is a great cause, it’s around 14 miles of mountain range, and I’m not exactly renowned for my fitness levels! But I will do my best and update the page with photos and progress reports through the day Saturday.
Thank you for any donations you can spare!

As you can see Evie has the biggest smile that brightens up anyone’s day, she is a little girl full of life, love & happiness.
many of our family and friends are aware Katie & her husband Phil are living Every parents worst nightmare, they’re family’s life has been turned upside down, in addition to this they are expecting a new baby arriving in a few short months.
on the 12th of April Evie was admitted to Southampton general after she was suffering with reaccuring head aches & sickness. A CT Scan revealed a brain tumour, Evie had a 10 hour operation to remove the tumour but unfortunately it couldn’t be fully removed. biopsies were sent off, & after waiting 7 agonising days Katie & Phil we’re told Evie had stage 4 medulloblastoma that had spread to her spine & is life threatening.
After a week of waiting for oncologists to confirm a plan of treatment, they finally got some positive news.
Before any treatment can start Evie will need to fully recover from her operation,
the operation has left Evie with posterior fossa syndrome, this means she will need extensive rehabilitation with speech & langage & physiotherapy,
Evie has a left side weakness & she is unable to swallow & is being fed via an NG tube.
this has also affected her walking, her motor skills & communication.
Although it’s estimated for treatment to be completed with in 10 months,
The treatment itself will consist firstly to harvest Evie’s blood stem cells to be Given back at a later date, the next stage Evie will be transferred to London for 6 weeks of radiotherapy, this will all be followed by intense chemotherapy at Southampton, this will take a further 5 months. For the next 10 months to a year this will remain as Evie, Katie & Phil’s home, during this time they will be welcoming they’re new baby.
We have set up this page to help with any financial burden that they may find themselves in at this difficult time.
