Hollie's story
Hollie, who is 13, was a very happy, healthy and sporty young girl until approximately a year ago when we noticed a gradual decline in her health and ability. The resulting tests and MRI identified a rare brain tumour - Hypothalamic Hamartoma.
The uncontrolled seizures and difficulties in her cognitive learning and memory have had a catastrophic impact on her life, particularly as a teenage girl with her whole life ahead of her."
There is a curable brain surgery but unfortunately this is not available in the UK on the NHS," added her mother.
"We refuse to accept this and after our own research, we have recently been given the good news that Hollie is a suitable candidate for surgery in Texas Children’s Hospital, USA.
"Without this surgery Hollie will never be able to lead a normal life and this is why we find ourselves in the uncomfortable position of asking for help as the surgery comes at a huge cost."
