I'm fundraising for The Children’s Hospital Charity

You may have seen the fundraising link set up by Ivy’s parents on social media to raise funds for the the children’s hospital charity. ( I have added more details from them below)

 Ivy is a wonderful young lady who attends our school. I am keen to do my bit and raise funds to say thank you to the hospital for all of their incredible help with one of our much loved students. So to help and support Ivy’s family on their fundraising journey, I have signed up to complete a sky dive on the 8th July. Any donations/ shares would be greatly received. Thank you so much. Mrs Willimott 😀  


In September 2021 Ivy ( a little girl in our school) was diagnosed with a rare and dangerous brain tumour known as a Craniopharyngioma. The wonderful team at Sheffield Children’s Hospital saved her life through 3 rounds of emergency surgery before a final craniotomy (partial skull removal) was performed on Jan 5th 2022 to remove the whole tumour.

unfortunately, Ivy was left with a severe brain injury and therefore has a series of problems that will now affect her for the rest of her life. These include:

  • Hormonal dysfunction - None of her hormones work anymore.
  • Hypothalamic obesity - Due to her brain damage, Ivy's energy regulator and normal desire for food, have been damaged beyond repair resulting in her body weight doubling.
  • Sleep malfunction - Ivy no longer sleeps through the night and can often remain awake for the whole night.
  • Behavioural extremes - When Ivy gets tired, she becomes angry and often aggressive.

Ivy (now 6) has regular MRI scans to determine whether or not her tumour is regrowing. The results of her January scan show that her tumour has grown back and she will therefore require further treatment at the Christie Centre in Manchester where she will receive specialist proton beam therapy.

Ivy's journey and the changes that she has gone through have caused her immense trauma. It has also taken a huge toll on all of her family, from the initial diagnosis, the various surgeries, the personality alterations and the severe weight gain that she has experienced.

I'm going above and beyond for Sheffield Children's Hospital by taking to the skies and completing Team Theo's Skydive!

Please donate if you can help me reach my target. Every penny makes a difference.

Thank you!
