Jessica's story

Jessica Taylor is a beautiful, sunny teenager who probably feels like she has already lived her life four times over. Jess was diagnosed with a brain tumour  - a medulloblastoma - on 1 August 2007 and since then has had surgery and the adjuvant therapies. These have not been without trauma. During her surgery Jess suffered a stroke, which has left her with walking and balance disabilities. Jess’s tumour is currently behaving, but there is nothing further the NHS can do for Jess.

The Jessica Taylor Charity Fund has come safely into brainstrust’s harbour – not that it needs sheltering! Prior to collaborating with brainstrust, Jess’s fund had already raised enough money to pay the purchase of wireless laptops and wall mounted flat screens for the John Radcliffe Hospital to enable youngsters who are receiving cancer treatment to communicate via the internet.

Now that this target has been reached, The Jess Taylor Charity Fund is working with brainstrust to raise funds for Jess to have further treatment, possibly in the USA. If these funds are not needed then the monies raised will be put towards one of brainstrust’s objectives.
