Story

Hi there,

I'm Maya Sehgal and I am two years old.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Back in December 2012 (feels like yesterday really) I was told by the doctors that I wasn’t very well.  I was told that I have Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and that while they think I will get much better I will need lots of medicines to help me.

The nurses and the doctors at the hospital are lovely and nice and play with me and give me lots of cuddles.  My doctor is called Joseph, when I first met him I didn’t like him very much but now I think he is very nice man and he is making me much better.

There are lots of other kids at the hospital too and some of them are still poorly but the nurses and the doctors always do their best and make them well and smile.

My mummy and my daddy, my uncles and my aunties, are doing this really long run in September so that they can buy lots of toys and doctors machines to help all the children at my hospital.  They are running all the time now to make sure they can finish the run and get the gold medal. They are also planning lots of other exciting events like a tea party and a big fancy dinner to raise even more money.

The more money we can make, the more things we can buy for the hospital.  Please please pleaaase give as much as you can from your bank money so we can buy lots of special things for the hospital. 

Now for the boring legal stuff (which my Daddy loves):

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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thanks again everyone.
