Julie Kent's daughter, Emily, died in 1995 of a brain tumour when she was just three-years-old.
A mother has raised more than £500,000 to pay for a psychologist to work on a children's cancer ward.The psychologist will work on the Emily Kent ward at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, providing support to patients and their families while the child has treatment and are in remission."It's quite common that siblings - after their brother or sister go into remission - it turns out they have got issues because they keep quiet", she said.
She has been fundraising for the Pied Piper Appeal which supports the hospital and its Emily Kent Ward - which is named after her daughter. "But I broke it down. I said to businesses, I just need 250 of them to give me £2,000 - and over 150 businesses have in Gloucestershire.""We're not stopping. I wanted to raise £500,000 in one year but there are lots of things going on this year," she said.
