We are fighting a losing battle with children’s cancer. Save lives; help Billie butterfly.

Thank you for taking an interest in our blog we are very grateful, our names are Lottie and Lilah. We feel that a child of any background deserves an equal chance in life. We hope our blog helps you to understand and to feel as passionately about helping children with cancer, as we do.

Billie was a beautiful little girl who at the age of 4 was diagnosed with a brain tumour; this was the start of the year that would sadly end with Billie losing her life. The charity was made to raise the money so that Billie could fly to America and have the only treatment available. First it seemed that she was responding well and the tumour hadn’t appeared to be growing. After months of Billie pulling through and the future looking bright the tumour started to grow again and very rapidly. In the weeks leading to her death she was unable to walk and was bed ridden, she died and peaceful death with her parents on her bedside and family close. Sadly Billie lost her battle with cancer but her memory can live on and help those other children, to make sure they have a chance at life that Billie will never have.

Thank you so much for reading our blog, it would be of great use to us if you could post your thoughts below. We only need a few minutes of your time, we would really appreciate it if you could answer the following questions. If you want to find out more about Billie, or you would like to donate, please follow this link to the Billie Butterfly website: http://www.billiebutterflyfund.org/ . If you post a response, please say where you are from- hometown and country (if not UK).

    Before this blog i had heard of the 'Billie Butterfly Fund' but i knew very little. i do feel as if i have a greater understanding of her and others alike. I would consider all of the above as it is simple and effective towards the charity

    I had already heard of Billie Butterfly Fund, I think it is important to raise awareness of this charity as I think it is a very worthy cause. After reading this blog I feel much more informed and I would consider donating.
