On April 7th 2017, Eva made her final journey. It was with bone weary sadness and unspeakable grief that we made the choice to move her from St. Georges ICU unit back home where doctors would remove her life support machine. She traveled in the ambulance with Mum, while I drove back ahead to explain to our other two children that it was the last time they were going to see their sister.
This is the stark reality of a terminal diagnosis. In a child, it just makes no sense. Eva passed away quietly in our arms, safely in a place she knew and loved.
A small team will re-create her final journey from St. Georges in London to Herne Bay. It marks the final journey Eva made and the first event of the charity inspired by Eva’s short life and epic battle with cancer. We will run the 67 miles in one day, and in doing so hope to raise money to support other families going through the nightmare of a childhood terminal diagnosis. Only a few selected people can run the entire route with us due to the logistics and severe distance involved. If you would like to support us or join in with the final few miles of the run, please contact us info@evasangels.org. Please help us with donations and spread the word!!!
