Lily Hester
In July 2013 Lily Hester, our beautiful 8 year old daughter, was diagnosed with an extremely rare liver cancer. Our world was turned upside down. Lily endured over 6 months of chemotherapy, 6 operations, radiation amongst other tests, scans and many, many hospital visits. In January 2014, Lily did go into remission, however after another scan in March 2014 we were told the most devastating news of our lives – our daughter was terminally ill. Lily fought hard, was brave and an inspiration to us all, each and everyday – she still is. Lily so sadly passed away on the 11th of August 2014.
The foundation was established to honour Lily. The hope of the foundation will be to find a cure for childhood cancer so no child or parent has to endure what we did.
Our purpose
Live for Lily raises awareness and funds that will go directly towards research that is dedicated to finding a cure for childhood cancers. We are a not-for-profit foundation that is committed to ensuring that we will see an end to childhood cancer.
