Treating the untreatable in allergic, infectious and immune diseases

Press/Media: Research

Description

Aimee Drew was only five years old when she died after developing an aggressive and rapidly progressing lymphoma following glandular fever. Doctors tried hard to treat her cancer but didn’t have the specialist knowledge to get to the root of her underlying health issues caused by a faulty gene. Soon after her death, Aimee’s parents Suzanne and Ian formed the Aimee Drew Trust. Over more than 20 years they have worked tirelessly with family and friends, as well as clinicians at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, The University of Manchester and hospital trust executives to raise more than £100,000. Their fundraising resulted in the establishment of a Clinical Academic Paediatric Allergy, Infectious Disease and Immunology Centre in Manchester.
