Why we set up The Evie Dove Foundation
In April 2021 our beautiful daughter Evie was diagnosed with a brain tumour, and over the next 11 months she and we as a family battled through brain surgeries, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and cutting edge immunotherapy.
Her spirit, humour and love of life never waned but despite moving mountains even the most talented medical teams could not save her. As her legacy, she inspired us and our team of trustees to set up The Evie Dove Foundation. By doing so we are able to sponsor and support the further education of medical professionals in paediatric care, who can go on to help thousands of children and save many lives. Evie could not be saved, but her legacy lives on.
Through the foundation’s work we seek purpose and to honour our beautiful Evie and all she stood for.

About the Foundation
The Foundation is being set up for the benefit of sick children and their families, focusing on the advancement of children’s health care and the saving of children’s lives together with the pastoral care of families going through the most traumatic of experiences.
In particular the Foundation will help fund the education of those working in, or returning to, paediatric care in UK hospitals, to perform more senior and influential roles in and by doing so help to contribute more to the care of sick children and their families in the UK. This also helps address a serious shortfall in the paediatric workforce in the UK.
We select, sponsor and support incredible individuals driven by a desire to care for children and their families.
