Thank you all for the donations so far, 20% of target reached, big push people lets smash this target
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On 28th July 2012 we will be starting the national three peaks challenge, Ben Nevis, ScaFell and Snowdon all in 24hrs, all in the memory of Niamh Curry.
Niamh was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive childhood cancer called Neuroblastoma (Stage 4 High Risk) just before Christmas 2010 when she was just 3 years old. Since then Niamh has spent countless days and nights in hospital for treatment that has included Rapid Cojec Chemotherapy, a 4 hour operation to remove the tumor which was located on her adrenal gland, high dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplant and 14 treatments of Radiotherapy. On top of this there have been lots of blood and platelet transfusions, lots and lots of scans and general hospital visits and loads of time away from home.
Despite all this Niamh still remains the happiest, kindest, most caring little girl you will ever meet. She is always smiling and loves a huggle with her big sister Hannah or her mummy and daddy.
Things were going really well with Niamhs treatment and she started big school in September. Life was getting back to normal, well sort of. In November 2011 plans were put into place to start the final antibody treatment called Anti GD2. This gives the biggest hope of keeping the Neuroblastoma away for good. After nearly 1 year of treatment there was light at the end of the tunnel for Niamhs family.The hospital carried out all of the usual pre- treatment MIBG & MRI scans and the bone marrow biopsies. Two days before going into hospital for the Anti GD2 Niamh's parents got a phone call from the hospital that broke their hearts all over again. The cancer had come back...
We were already aware that there is no UK relapse protocol and now had to face the harsh realisation that any treatment in the UK does not aim to cure Niamh.
In the US this is not the case and there are many relapse protocols. This is where we need to take our amazing little girl to give her the best chance of survival.
The treament Niamh needs is at The Children's Hospital of Philidelphia and costs around £450'000.
Sadly at 1930hrs on Sunday 20th May 2012 Niamh lost her fight with neuroblastoma, her father tweeted "tonight my brave beautiful little girl lost her battle with cancer. i am so proud of her and will miss her so much". The charity behind Niamh's condition needs funds to help other children and to fund further research into Neuroblastoma.

8 miles on the bike last night, hard word I this summer heat. Last training session tonight, circuits with Mike at MMA Gym Wellingborough before the challenge
Meant to add my training for the day, 30 minutes hill walking on treadmill. 20 minutes core weights and 20 minutes hill interval on cross trainer. Legs feel like led, bring on tomorrows run.
Right update from Simon on training. Going very well, lots of road walking and running, trying to keep the miles up in the pouring rain and taking advantage of the gym.
Gym session today down at the MMA gym Wellingborough, cheers Darren you worked me good, legs don't want to continue but they will as need to be ready for the three big mountains, keep supporting
Training continues, 20 miles on the bike today, Wellingborough to Brixworth and back again. Pitsford reservoir causeway nearly had me wanting to give up but the thought of why I was doing this spurred me on to get through, thanks for the donations guys we appreciate every penny
