Audrey Evans was a British paediatric oncologist who revolutionized treatment for Neuroblastoma, a deadly form of pediatric nerve cancer, from which 90% of patients died in 1970. She also co-founded the Ronald McDonald House Charities, an organisation which went on to provide housing support to millions of people across the world. However, she was also unconventional and idiosyncratic and clashed with hospital leaders.[1]
