I'm attempting to raise any funds I can to support a little boy who was due to start my Reception class this past September. Unfortunately due to his illness he has been unable to be in school and we all miss him terribly. Myself along with other members of staff are planning on attending an sponsored scoot down Bexhill seafront. I am going to be dressed as The Gruffalo pulling my lovely Teaching Assistant Mrs. Castle along in a child's Tuc Tuc (If we fit!)
In August 2017 a few days after his 4th birthday, Jack was diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma, an aggressive cancer which mainly affects children under the age of 5. Since then he has undergone Radiotherapy and Immunotherapy. Sadly the tumor has not shrunk. In May he had another painful lump. On 2nd June he started a second cycle of chemotherapy.
We need to raise at least £200,000 very quickly to give him the best chance of lifesaving treatment. They think due to his high risk neuroblastoma, antibody treatment is needed. However, it is not funded by the NHS and no child has been accepted by NHS England for funding so it has been either sponsored or privately funded. We are raising funds to give Jack the best possible chance of ridding his little body of this horrible cancer.
We all have such power in our social networks to massively increase our fundraising so please share this far and wide to raise as much as possible to help Jack and his family get him the best treatment.
