Welcome to our site: helping families of children with brain tumours & other cancers and raising brain tumour awareness. 

More UK children die from brain tumours than any other cancer.                                Registered charity number 1138359           

'Ellie's Fund' was set up after the death of 14 year old Ellie Othick-Bowmaker. 

During the 3 years that she fought her own 2 brain tumours, Ellie helped to raise over £25000. She inspired many people to join in.

Ellie's legacy is the money that is being used to help others.

We provide practical assistance to families who live in Yorkshire and who have a child going through treatment for a brain tumour. We also support families within the Borough of Scarborough (UK) who have a child with any form of cancer.

We raise awareness about brain tumours and support established research projects.          

• There are 16 000 new cases of brain tumours each year
• 33% more patients died in 2007 than in 2001               
• More children in the UK die from a brain tumour than any other cancer; including leukaemia

So please, have a look at our site, read Ellie's inspiring story, and be inspired - to do your own sponsored event - or to donate.'Contact us' for more details.

THANK YOU FOR READING.
