Team Solent Kestrels D3 Mens Coach and Solent Universtity BUCS Head Coach Sylvain Donneaud’s launched this appeal after his daughter Zoe was diagnosed with DIPG (Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma) an aggressive brain tumour.
Only 10% of children diagnosed with DIPG survive for two years, and less than 1% survive for more than five years, with the median survival time being nine months.
His family set up a Facebook donations page 'Association Princesse Zoé atteinte de DIPG' (Princesses Zoe Association) in September and since then £11,000 has been donated. Click HERE for the page.
The fund helped with treatment and travel for Zoe, Sylvain and his wife, Emilie. Here at Kestrels we are a family and we have done and will continue to pull together to support the Donneaud family. Sadly, Zoe lost her battle on Wednesday 12th June 2019 around 6pm, we carry fond memories of Sylvain and Emilie's princess and she will remain forever in our hearts.
