Terminally ill Wellington teen will donate her brain to cancer research after raising more than $370,000


Photo / GivealittleA terminally ill Wellington teenager who has raised more than $370,000 for cancer research will also donate her brain to the scientist fighting for a cure. All of the money will go to DIPG research conducted by Dr Matt Dun, associate professor at the University of Newcastle. But it's not just money Jemima will donate - Jemima's brain and stem line will also be sent to Dr Dun. He hopes it will lead not only to the establishment of a treatment but also give children diagnosed with DIPG a chance of survival. From his conversations with Jemima, Dr Dun says it was easy to tell what an amazing person she is.
