£85K Raised for Rare Disease Research in Daisy's Memory
23 Sep
Summary
- Friends and family raised £85,000 for rare disease research.
- The funds support research into haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH).
- Research funding was secured at University College London Hospital.
A community has rallied together, raising £85,000 in memory of Daisy Catterall, who tragically passed away last year at the age of 25.
Daisy succumbed to haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), an exceedingly rare and dangerous condition characterized by an overactive immune system attacking the body's own organs and tissues.
The significant funds have been directed towards HLH research at University College London Hospital. Researchers have acknowledged that the successful acquisition of a vital grant would not have been possible without this generous community effort.
Daisy's mother, Rachel Catterall, fondly remembers her daughter as someone who "lived life to the full" and was deeply cherished by all who knew her.
