Megan’s Rose of Hope: a charity dedicated to making a difference in the fight against childhood cancer – ICR
The Institute of Cancer Research shared a post on LinkedIn:
” ‘Megan had an incredible life ahead of her. I often wonder where she’d be now’
Megan Kelly was diagnosed with stage 4 Ewing sarcoma at the age of 18, following two years of poor health. Despite undergoing gruelling treatment, she passed away 18 months later in December 2020.
Megan was feisty, strong, and resilient, and although there were some dark days, she was by and large, very positive. She never felt sorry for herself. Above all, she wanted to make a difference for other young people fighting cancer. In her memory, her family and closest friends set up Megan’s Rose of Hope, a charity dedicated to making a difference in the fight against childhood cancer.
They want to fund research that is specifically directed at cancers that affect young people, believing research is the only way to develop kinder, better treatments and save more lives. This Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Awareness Month, Megan’s mum, Jane, shares her story.”
