Story

Hi everyone i am organising events and raising money to help towards Emmas Appeal here is Emmas Story...

Hello, My name is Emma Hoolin and I am 4 years old.

I live in Oak Hill Close, Whitley, Wigan with my Mum, Dad and big sister Lily.

In February this year I was diagnosed with high risk neuroblastoma, a rare life threatening childhood cancer that mainly affects children under 5.

Suddenly instead of preparing for school I am fighting for my life!

My diagnosis has shattered everybody that loves me very much.

Treatment is making me very poorly, but I am a fighter and I deserve to live, I want to live!

As if life hasn't already been unfair to me, I am not going to recieve the very best treatment that is available in the world today.

In the UK I will be part of a randomised trial that will decide at the penultimate stage of my treatment which drugs I will recieve.

In the USA I can recieve a potentially life saving immunotherapy treatment.

My parents will NOT accept this. They will fight for me. They will do everything possible to raise the money needed to take me abroad for the very best treatment.

Please help them help me.

Thank you!

Love Emma x

We can potentially help save her life by donating a little money to their charity so she can be flown over to the US and recieve immunotherapy treatment which has a better chance of helping her get back to her usual self.

Please help this charity, just by donating even a small amount. I hate to coin a phrase but 'every little helps' in matters like these. If 1000 people donate even as little as £1 or £2 the numbers soon rack up.

Visit their Just Giving page, and Emma's website for more information about her, and to make a donation. Or you can text RWLH93 and your amount to 70070 to make a donation.

Thanks guys xxx

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
