High Court Rules £100,000 Raised for Kyle Will Go to DIPG Charities

The judge found donors intended a DIPG-focused purpose under Gold Geese’s cancer-only remit.

Overview

  • Deputy Master Marc Glover ruled the remaining donations cannot be used for Kyle Morrison’s sister, Ruby-Rose, who has a genetic metabolic condition.
  • Gold Geese must distribute the unspent funds between two charities supporting children with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma.
  • The decision relied on campaign statements and a contract stating unspent money would support other DIPG causes if Kyle died before treatment.
  • More than 1,500 donations were involved, including tens of thousands redirected from another child’s DIPG fundraiser into Kyle’s fund.
  • The charity can recoup its legal fees from the fund and will not pursue court costs from the parents, with some money already used for Kyle’s funeral.
