Together we will make a difference
Brain Tumour research and the support of children with cancer in East Anglia
Ellie was born on 23rd September 1988 along with her twin sister Cassie, together with older brother Adam and younger sister Natalie the Savage family was complete. This changed dramatically in December 2001 when, after suffering epileptic fits for 2 months, a scan showed that Ellie had a brain tumour. Following a 6 hour operation, a biopsy revealed she has a grade 4 glioblastoma multiform, a most aggressive form of brain cancer. Ellie died on 11th November 2002 aged just 14.
The Ellie Savage Memorial Trust was founded in February 2003 to provide support to families who find themselves in a similar situation.
The aims of the charity are:
- Support to families who have a child with cancer or a brain tumour
- Access to relevant information
- To raise awareness of this devastating disease
- To fund research into brain tumours
