Fundraising for University of Birmingham
Story
Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am fundraising in support of my very brave friend Isobel, who I've been friends with since we were just a few weeks old.
Isobel was diagnosed on 27th February 2014 at just 3 yrs 10 months old, with Neuroblastoma, a rare childhood cancer and she has undergone intensive treatment at Birmingham Children's Hospital.
I am hoping to raise funds for much needed research into Neuroblastoma at Birmingham University by running the Birmingham 5k in Sutton Park on Sunday 6 September.
I know it's not a marathon, but I've only got little legs 😊.
Research within the Mussai laboratory at Birmingham University is being conducted by Dr Francis Mussai, Clinical Senior Lecturer/Consultant in Paediatric Oncology at Birmingham Children’s Hospital. His laboratory is focussed on the interaction between childhood cancers and the immune system. In collaboration with a small pharmaceutical company, and scientists at the University of Birmingham, the Mussai laboratory is developing new drugs to starve cancer cells of nutrients, and secondly to reactivate the immune system to kill cancer cells.Although this valuable research is too late for Isobel we still need to help others.
I'm proud to be a member of #TEAMISOBEL and please remember that every penny counts! My dad's company have also said they'll match my donations up to my target amount.
