Meet Amelie, a wonderful U16 Lioness player for Rodborough Youth FC who tragically passed away. Amelie was just 14 when, in Mar 2025, she was diagnosed with a #DMG in the brain stem. She died in July just 4 MONTHS after diagnosis

The start of something sinister, only known with hindsight. This September join us in raising awareness and funds for #DIPG #DMG research and share stories of precious children like Billy https://t.co/hPZDRWzUvF 💗

If this cancer were better understood, maybe Billy could have celebrated more birthdays, blown out more candles.

2 years ago, I fought at York Hall to raise money for @AbbiesArmy kids cancer charity & to honour Isla Winn,a beautiful little girl lost to this cruel disease. I was crying my eyes out. It is one of my proudest moments, YOU helped me raise £43,000. I went on to win by KO 🥊
