Story

This is an amazing family who are trying to fund treatment in America for their daughter Katie Rose. 

I met this family in work one day after completing a trek up Slieve Donard. I am in a very fortunate position so decided that it was time to help this family out in any way that I can!

Read Katie Rose's story below; Katie Rose is a fun-loving, quick-witted, brave little eight-year-old girl, who loves making slime, playing Minecraft on her Xbox and football with her sister Olivia. Shes the youngest of three girls, Olivia is 10 and big sister Grace is 16.Katie Rose was diagnosed with stage four high-risk neuroblastoma in March 2018. She had developed a solid tumour in her abdomen.Her future is uncertain. Her family hope Katie Rose will be in remission at the end of frontline treatment, but in 40-50% of children diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma, the cancer comes back. Once it does the chances of long-term survival drop to less than 10%.It means that Katie Rose's family are raising funds in case she needs to access treatment not available on the NHS to either try to keep the cancer from returning or clear the disease if her treatment plan, unfortunately, doesn't go to plan.
