DrugStar Pearl Kelly
07 January 2021
Pearl from Liverpool, who has NF1, amongst a variety of other complex conditions, is one of our many active fundraisers and supporters within our NF community. She receives treatment for her NF at St. Mary’s Hospital in Manchester and is often visiting specialists around the region for her other conditions. When we asked our community to sign up to use the DrugStar App, Pearl gladly joined.
With every medication she took, she gained one Star, this meant a 1p donation for Nerve Tumours UK, which over a year culminated to a significant amount

Pearl is a huge Everton fan! She knows the team & Chairman, both of whom who supported her by buying her an electric wheelchair.
"Thank you to the chairman, Bill Kenwright and Leighton Baines of the Everton Football Club for supporting me, those affected by Neurofibromatosis in the UK, and integrating me into the Everton team as half-pint! Keep kicking!"

In her own words Pearl says: “I am close to bed-bound and this is a way I can still fundraise and give back. It does not cost me anything, I get reminders and I simply do not forget to take my medication”
