Story
We - 'Maisie's Rainbow Runners' - are doing the 'Bubble Rush', on 17th September, in memory of Maisie and to raise money for Helen & Douglas House.
After being diagnosed with leukaemia in March 2018, Maisie (along with her mummy and daddy) spent most of the next 5 months in hospital as she underwent chemotherapy, blood and platelet transfusions and numerous daily procedures. Throughout all of her treatment, she smiled, laughed and brought sunshine to the wards of the hospitals where she was treated.
She loved bright colours, sparkles and rainbows. During those weeks in hospital, her imagination and spirit took her on so many adventures. Even when confined to one room for weeks at a time, she still found a way to turn them into playgrounds, and doctors and nurses were made to take part in her self built obstacle courses. Being 'poorly' simply didn't stop Maisie - it took something huge to do that.
Despite seeming to have beaten the leukaemia, and having been in remission for several months, things changed unexpectedly when a tumour was discovered on her brain. We were transferred to Helen & Douglas House, who took such wonderful care of all of us. Maisie passed away on 2 September, aged just 2 years and 9 months.
Maisie loved running, obstacle courses and, of course, bubbles… so what better way to remember a little girl who loved colour and adventure than the 'Bubble Rush'?!
Maisie's mummy - Julie - and her friends - Stacey, Clare, Chloe, Megan, Claire and Jo - have chosen to take on the challenge to raise money for Helen & Douglas House who took such care of Maisie in her final weeks and supported the family in their grief.
Thank you for supporting us in memory of the beautiful Maisie xxx 💕🌈
