An introduction to this
Evesham Charitable Organisation.
Charity Shop, and Fund Raising.
When I lost Tracy at the age of 15 years to leukaemia, I lost not only my daughter but also my best friend. Tracy's determination to fight the disease - despite a failed bone marrow transplant - was an overwhelming inspiration. It therefore became extremely important to fulfil Tracy's wish for something positive to be achieved for others. This resulted in the launch of The Tracy Sollis Laboratory Appeal , under the umbrella of this charitable organisation to raise £100,000 to fund a research laboratory. Tracy spent her life in Evesham
Some thought the task too great, but loyal supporters and I never doubted it - we had to do it - and we did! Thanks to magnificent help and support from Evesham people and further afield, the target was reached with a laboratory officially opened and dedicated to Tracys memory by HRH The Duchess of Kent on the 14th May 1996. The laboratory is in the grounds of The Royal Free Hospital, London and is a fitting tribute to all that had helped make this dream become a reality.
The result of this work was the official registration of "The Tracy Sollis Leukaemia Trust" as an independent charitable organisation with its roots in Evesham and the aim of promoting and assisting in the prevention and relief of sickness, suffering and distress of those afflicted by leukaemia, particularly but not exclusively by the provision of funded research by this charity.
Tracy, like so many others lost a long and brave battle and I am but only one of many hundreds of parents and families whose lives have been torn apart by this disease.
Looking back into the 1960's leukaemia was virtually untreatable, but thanks to progress and funding, many lives can now be saved. There are however, some strains of the disease, which are very difficult to overcome. We can make a huge difference by working together to provide the much needed funds to back our promising young scientists - after all; the lifesaving answer lies in their hands!This Evesham charitable organisation needs your help
