Rainbow films
Our families are our greatest advocates and here they tell their very personal stories about their children’s illnesses, the effect an illness has on the whole family and how Rainbow Trust has helped them during their treatment and beyond.
The Goldby family storyElise Goldby was just 12 when she died in 2005 following her battles with cancer. Here her father, mother and brother remember their spirited daughter and sister.
The James family storyJosh James was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcosa and died when he was just 15 years old. His mum, Cindy and sisters Kimberley and Isabel describe their ‘brave’ son and brother and how Rainbow Trust helped them through some very dark days.
The Haynes' family storyAlbie Haynes was 15 months old when she was diagnosed with Non-hodgkin's Lymphoma stage 4 cancer and her family turned to Rainbow Trust for support.
The Kelly family storyHarriet Kelly was just two when she was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma stage four; a rare and aggressive childhood cancer of the nerve cells. Harriet went into remission for two years but then the tumours returned. This time, the doctors could do very little for her and she died aged six. Here, her parents describe their ‘girly girl’ and a love of everything pink.
