"Although I had an idea about what a glioma was, I still looked it up online and the fact that brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under 40, and yet still isn't recognised with the proportion of funding and awareness it currently receives is senseless."
Her parents are also taking part in Brain Tumour Research's "Walk of Hope" event later this year alongside their children Niall, 11, and Shay, 7. Mel Tiley, community development manager at Brain Tumour Research, said: "We offer our condolences to Ella's family for their unimaginable loss and thank them for their bravery in speaking out to help raise awareness of this devastating disease. We are grateful to Sophie for supporting our petition.
