Isobel is a friend of mine. Three years ago she was diagnosed with leukaemia. Her whole family were transported 75 miles from home to a specialist children's cancer where CLIC provided a 'home from home' free of charge, so that Issy's family could live next door to the hospital. After returning home, they were provided with a dedicated CLIC nurse who administered as much chemotherapy at home as possible. CLIC provide grants to support a family in this situation and specialist help is available in the form of children's psychologists & play specialists for the children, and support & counselling for the parents.
The wonderful news is that Isobel is now in remission however she still has the support of CLIC, as she will need to be monitored for many more years. The doctors & nurses in oncology were fantastic - but it was CLIC that bound the whole thing together - we have living proof!
To help Clic raise much needed funds, my friend Alan and I will be running a Half Marathon in Stratford-On-Avon on April 24th.
