The brother of a girl who is battling a brain tumour has recorded a song which he hopes will raise funds to help the family make memories.

Lizzy Adams, 14, from Conyer, was diagnosed with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma – a tumour in the brain stem – in March last year.

Now one of the Sittingbourne Community College pupil’s five siblings, Rylie Attrell, has written a song to articulate his feelings following his sister’s diagnosis.

The 16-year-old penned ‘I’m Sorry’ despite never having played an instrument or sang before.

He said: “It was a way of expressing my emotions at the time. I wanted to share it with people.

“I’ve never done anything like this before. I was just sitting there one day and I just put pen to paper and started writing my lyrics.

“I wanted to get it all recorded and hopefully get it published.”

After receiving a voucher to record a song at Sittingbourne’s Big Jam Studios, Riley took the chance to record it there as a single yesterday (Tuesday).

Riley now hopes to make the song available on iTunes and Spotify.

He plans to use any money raised from the song to help his sister and their family to do activities together.

Last week, the charity Taylor Made Dreams arranged for Lizzy to visit the set of EastEnders.

A post on the Elizabeth’s Brain Tumour Journey Facebook pages said she had an amazing day as she got to meet some of the cast who were all “lovely people”.

A fundraising page for Lizzy has so far raised more than £55,000.

A recent fundraiser for Lizzy’s appeal included Mark Swinyard, who was sponsored to have a body wax at the Fox and Goose in Bapchild on January 26.
