Chloë was amazing from day 1, she was brave and never thought about herself. Chloë always said we were going through this as a family, she had the tumour growing inside her, but all five of us were on this journey together. 

Chloë blew everyone away with her determination and drive, she sat some GCSEs just weeks after being diagnosed and whilst in her hospital bed, hooked up to chemotherapy, Chloë went on to do her A-levels.

Chloë had many red flag warning signs for Ewing sarcoma that her doctors missed. Childhood cancer is rare and Ewing sarcoma even rarer; many doctors wouldn’t have seen it before and won’t see it again in their career. This is why Chloë was determined to make a difference and to make sure no one else went through what she and her family did. She wanted to get the signs and symptoms of Primary Bone Cancer better known and to raise so much awareness and funds to help as many people as possible and hopefully find a cure one day.

We decided to set up Chloë’s Fight with Ewing’s through BCRT to help us achieve Chloë’s goal. At first we were worried as we thought Special Funds were only set up in memory, but this wasn’t the case. Chloë was also concerned that we didn’t have a big enough community of people to help spread awareness or raise money, but because of her dedication to the cause, our community has grown. Every penny counts and every £30 raised pays for 1 hour of vital research.

After another fight and signs missed again, even by the oncologist this time, Chloë was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia and leukaemia cutis, likely because of the harsh treatment given for Ewing’s.  This meant there were very few options available for treatment.

Devastatingly our world was torn apart in July 2020 as Chloë became our true Angel, the brightest star in the sky.
