Ruby was taken by #rhabdomyosarcoma 2 weeks before her 7th birthday. She was amazing. We fundraise for better treatments and a cure. Over Β£245k raised so far.
This photo was taken 3 years ago today. The day she was diagnosed with the cancer that took her life 28 months later. A happy healthy girl. Except she wasnβt healthy. She had Stage 4 ARMS.
Help us change the story for other children & their families.

This means so much to us. Huge thanks to @InchturePrimary for raising this incredible amount to pay for the installation of a Be More Ruby bench in the school grounds ππ¦
A lasting legacy for our girl. She would absolutely love it.

And we even finished the day with some amazing cupcakes!!

Today on @theJeremyVine
Listen from 1:31:35 to hear Rubyβs mummy talk about anticipatory grief.
The life of a child forever changed by cancer is a life that creates grief, regardless of the outcome. So much more to sayβ¦
