Orla Tuckwell bravely endured a year-long battle against a brain tumour called Medulloblastoma, so rare that specialists could not find another case anywhere in Europe. Her dad, Adam, is participating in the 3-2-1 challenge, where he will be climbing the Yorkshire Three Peaks, running in the TCS London Marathon, and running four miles every four hours for 48 hours.

"This is our job now, we can’t look after her every day, but we can continue to tell her story and remind the world that she lived. "These challenges also help us grieve, whilst helping others and bringing some light into the darkest of situations." Adam said that Orla was a strong, brave and crazy little girl, with one of his favourite memories of her being when she served her grandad, who is over seven feet tall, tea and cake in her little playhouse at the bottom of her garden.
Orla, was known as a 'Boss Baby' to her family, and had "brown eyes that would melt your heart", according to her dad. Th money raised will help Great Ormond Street Hospital's Charity build a new Children's Cancer Centre (Image: Adam Tuckwell) So far, Adam has raised £1,000 of their £10,000 target, but overall the family, along with friends, have been able to raise over £110,000 for Great Ormond Street Hospital. The 3,2,1 challenge.
