My profile picture above is of Kai.  Kai is the son of a dear friend of mine - Kara.  Kai was diagnosed with leukemia when he was just 2 years old.

Since learning about Kai, one memory that sticks in my mind - I remember telling Kara I wanted to do this job and that job when we chatted and she would say I want to have a big family - a whole football team!  Such a natural with children - I thought she was mad!

I used to train Kara at The Park Club, Chatham but we also went out socially as our first children were of a similar age.  Kara was 5 months pregnant with her 4th boy when she had the devastating news that Kai had Leukemia.

Kai was in hospital for 8 months, had chemotherapy, transfusion after transfusion and in August 2015 was lucky enough to get a donor match.  The next big operation was a bone marrow transplant.  Today, Kai is 3 year old, his hair has grown back and he has taken the donor bone marrow well.  His blood type has changed completely and is that of a female now.  He is well on the way to a cancer free diagnosis.

Unfortunately, Kara's story is not uncommon so please help us raise funds to delete blood cancer.
