Elly's Herd
Elly Monaghan, a loving wife, mother of three and grandmother of six, was diagnosed with a glioblastoma (GBM) after slurring her words and sounding confused. She died 14 months later, on 2nd July 2023. Elly’s family were devastated when chemotherapy had to be halted after just one and a half cycles and they were told no other treatment was available to her.
Her son Peter took part in our 100 a Day Your Way in November challenge in 2023, inspiring him to set up Elly’s Herd to create a legacy for his mum, and said: “We don’t want other families to find themselves in the same treatment dilemma as us with no answers.”
