Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am doing a series of  fundraising events in aid of the Bubble Foundation, i hadnt heard of them until a good friend of mine's little baby boy Thomas was diagnosed with a life threatening and rare immune system deficiency disease and rushed to The Great North Children’s Hospital in Newcastle Upon Tyne. 

The Bubble Foundation UK raises funds to support babies suffering from a rare, inherited condition called Severe Combined Immune Deficiency Syndrome, or SCID. They are born without an immune system and cannot fight the simplest of infection.

The only way of keeping the babies and children safe from infection is to care for them in a Bubble, a high-tech sterile space, measuring 8 feet square, their ‘home’ for the duration of their treatment.

And the only chance of survival for these ‘BUBBLE’ children is to give them a new immune system, by bone marrow transplantation - a difficult and painful treatment. The process typically takes 6 months, but can be longer, up to 2 years.The Charity works in partnership with Newcastle Children’s Bone Marrow Transplant (Bubble) Unit, one of only two specialised centres in the UK and Ireland.

Thankfully little Thomas got home last week and the bone marrow transplant is working, theres still a long way to go but he's strong healthy and happy so finger crossed for a full recovery.

When little Thomas was diagnosed the Bubble Foundation looked after him and his families every needs including accommodation and living arrangements whilst staying in Newcastle awaiting a bone marrow donor and from all reports the care and attention they received was first class.
