A grieving mum vows to keep fundraising in memory of her remarkable daughter, who raised more than £10,000 for research into her condition in just 10 hours – which soared to £63,000 and has been climbing in the days since her death.

Talented and beautiful inside and out, university student Emily Parsons, 22, took her last breath surrounded by her family on May 6, 2021, at the Arthur Rank Hospice in Cambridge.

It was only months after being told the pins and needles she had mistaken for exam stress were caused by an incurable spinal cord tumour called a diffuse midline glioma – a type of cancer so rare it only affects 100 people a year in the UK.
