Lucy, from York, climbed up the highest mountain in the UK with her friends earlier this month, inspired by mum Paula, who has an aggressive and incurable brain tumour
Lucy Coates, pictured here with mum Paula, climbed Ben Nevis to raise funds for Brain Tumour Research.
Paula underwent surgery in Hull Royal Infirmary and then had radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment. A scan in February this year revealed regrowth and Paula, who had completed at least 10 marathons including London before becoming ill, went back on chemotherapy. Paula’s father-in-law, Ray, set up a fundraising group – The Paula Coates Fund - under the umbrella of the Brain Tumour Research charity to help find a cure for the devastating disease. It has so far raised £6,000, with Lucy’s trek generating around £1,600. Visit justgiving.com/fundraising/TeamLucyElleDan
