Overview

  • Craig Evison and Victoria Morrison began representing themselves at London’s High Court on July 7 to reclaim nearly £100,000 of unspent funds from their late son Kyle’s DIPG treatment appeal.
  • They want the money to fund memory-making experiences for their two-year-old daughter Ruby-Rose, who is terminally ill with Megdel syndrome.
  • Essex-based charity Gold Geese argues the funds were designated exclusively for pediatric cancer purposes and must go to DIPG trials or similar cases.
  • The donations have remained untouched since Covid-19 restrictions canceled Kyle’s planned US treatment trip in 2020.
  • Deputy Master Marc Glover heard full-day arguments and is expected to issue a ruling on whether the funds can be used for Ruby-Rose’s care in coming weeks.
