A fundraiser is gathering momentum for a four-year old Crewe girl, sadly diagnosed with an an aggressive and incurable brain tumour in December.

On 22 December 2024, Rosie Hassall, was taken into hospital only for her parents, Charlotte and Stefan, and brother Charlie, to be told she has a very serious and inoperable brain tumour.

Rosie had been suffering from pain in her forehead and slight change in her eye, with Charlotte, Stefan and the family doing all they could to get her help.

It took a while to get Rosie help, but they went back for a second opinion and finally got her referred to paediatrics.

Rosie spent eight days in Alder Hey Children's Hospital and had a biopsy of the tumour. Since then, she has lost her balance and needs support throughout the day.

The family were given the full diagnosis of a six-centimetre paediatric bithalamic glioma containing a rare genetic abnormality.

This is incredibly rare with Alder Hey's pathology lab only coming across one case of this ever before.

The family have now been given the heartbreaking news Rosie's cancer cannot be cured and treatment will only prolong her life.

Rosie's care has been transferred to The Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester.

Charlotte and Stefan told Nub News: "It is very uncommon what Rosie is suffering from and it only affects small children.

"We would like to thank everybody who has helped us get Rosie the support she needs and everyone who has donated towards the appeal.

"We are so grateful. We will do our best to help research this illness and make awareness of it.

"The staff at Leighton, Alder Hey and The Christie have been wonderful so far.

"Unfortunately for Rosie she will not be able to recover from this, but we would love to raise awareness so another child can be saved."

Within the next couple of weeks, Rosie will start aggressive radiotherapy under general anaesthetic for six weeks, from Monday to Friday.

She will be scanned again in a further eight weeks to see if the treatment has any effect.

Rosie's aunty and uncle, Helen Gaskell and James Gaskell, who created the GoFundMe, said: "Hopefully, as well as raising funds and hopefully drawing the attention of any specialists who can help treat Rosie, we can also use this page to update the many people who care about Rosie and what she is going through so that her parents and grandparents can focus on her treatment.

"Money we raise through this GoFundMe will help to get Rosie to and from her appointments, support Stefan and Charlotte as they take time off work to care for her and help her to enjoy the time she has away from hospital with her family.

"The funds raised will go directly from GoFundMe to Rosie's parents Charlotte and Stefan.
