Our gorgeous daughter Heidi was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) in September 2015, at the age of 2. She was put on the highest intensity chemotherapy treatment protocol which lasted 9 months followed by Maintenance chemotherapy until Feb 2018 when she rang the End of Treatment bell, whoop whoop!

She coped brilliantly with all the chemo, lumbar punctures, blood transfusions, hospital stays etc, and we are immensely proud of her. Now that treatment is over we want to give back to all the charities that supported us, and continue to support us. 

A fund has been set up called the Heidi's Helpers Fund to support Young Lives vs Cancer as they have supported us in so many ways:

-via community nurses which enabled some of Heidi's treatment to be carried out at home / nursery / school
-via a dedicated social worker who helped with so many aspects from family support, sorting out benefits and arranging holidays and breaks

We are also aware that, although Heidi's prognosis is excellent, not all children with cancer will have the same outcome. We know that Young Lives vs Cancer offer an amazing support network to all the families they touch and they want to extend this to support EVERY family affected by childhood cancer.
