About this deal

Betsy Griffin, a social media superstar-in-the-making, attended the Raver Tots Festival in Maldon Essex on Sunday, August 1 with her family.

These adverts enable local businesses to get in front of their target audience – the local community.The youngster endured 18 months of chemotherapy before having a biopsy and going on targeted treatment, which she remains on today. She also requires lifelong hormone replacements. Next, she decided to create a book and managed to get Sheryl Shurville, the owner of Chorleywood Bookshop, onboard.

It tells the story of a little girl who gets lost and befriends a dog. As companions, they find their way and are reunited with her family, but not before encountering a host of animals, all of whom have positive lessons to share. The book contains a foreword by broadcaster Fearne Cotton, who went to the same school as Rochelle and is one of her cousin’s best friends. It is available in print, braille and audio, with Fearne having also recorded the audio version. But none of this stopped Betsy having a fun time at the festival over the weekend, having got to meet and have selfies taken with bands and dance music DJs headlining the festival, including DJ Archie, ‘the world’s youngest DJ’ at six years of age. Brain Tumour Research is determined to change this through creating awareness of the horrifying statistics, by funding research at its Centres of Excellence and through its continued lobbying of the Government and the larger cancer charities to increase the national spend.” We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues. The ability to comment on our stories is a privilege, not a right, however, and that privilege may be withdrawn if it is abused or misused.Betsy underwent 18 months of gruelling chemotherapy which left her with hair loss, and on a feeding tube after losing an incredible amount of weight. And after all the suffering Betsy went through, the chemotherapy didn’t help and the tumour was actually found to have grown not long after she completed the treatment.” Betsy also appealed to festival-goers to join in by doing a hand stop selfie, posting it on social media with #NoMore. The book has been turned into a modern-day collection fables through Bev James Management and Literary Agency and was released through HarperCollins Publishers earlier this month. Betsy, who is from Chorleywood, lives with the consequences of damage to her pituitary gland as a result of being diagnosed with an inoperable diffuse optic nerve glioma. Stop the Devastation lays bare the powerful and painful truth about brain tumours – they are indiscriminate, they can affect anyone at any age, there is no cure and for many, sadly, there is little or no hope.

The book also features a forward from Fearne Cotton, who went to the same school as Rochelle. Fearne also recorded an audio version of the book. After visits to the GP, they decided to speed up the process and paid privately for an appointment with an ophthalmologist.Charlie Allsebrook, community development manager for Brain Tumour Research said: “We are so grateful to Betsy and her family for working with us to raise awareness and are so glad they were able to do this while having a fun day out.

Betsy also has her own YouTube channel where she posts positive and inspiring videos and is currently working with the charity Brain Tumour Research to raise awareness of its Stop the Devastation campaign. We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you've consented to and to improve our understanding of you. She’s also a great advocate for our charity, helping to raise awareness of the fact one in three people know someone affected by a brain tumour, yet, historically, just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease."Betsy strolled into the bookshop full of charisma and the owner knew her from her YouTube videos and said ‘yes’. 'She got Bev James involved, who was very engaged and said we could make it work, then HarperCollins said ‘yes’ and it all just snowballed from there." Betsy Griffin, from Chorleywood, was diagnosed with a low-grade optic nerve glioma at the age of two after developing nystagmus, a condition that causes involuntary eye movements. Betsy was just two when she was diagnosed with a low-grade optic nerve glioma. The diagnosis came after she developing nystagmus, a condition that causes involuntary eye movements.
