On the 4th March 2019 our world was turned upside down when our one year old boy Danny was diagnosed with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis, a very rare cancer that he was born with. 

Danny was a very unhappy baby. It took months and many hospital appointments to get a diagnosis. Eventually a private biopsy highlighted the disease and we became an Oncology family. It’s hard to imagine we have been dealing with the BIG C for almost a year. Our intense treatment has finished and we are now on maintenance, IV chemo every 3 weeks with oral chemo every night at home. 

It took me months to reach out to any charities. If I’m honest I was forced by family who took it upon themselves. I felt we were coping well and other people needed the charity more. I was so wrong. One phone call from Gaye at Angel wishes made me realise how much we needed the support, not just as parents but for my two other boys. 

Angel wishes provide both financial and emotional support for Oncology families. On top of organising family events for children with compromised immune systems they have recently added private counselling to their services. So many families will benefit from this as the emotional stress is a burden many of us are faced with. 

Myself and my gorgeous friends are hoping to raise some funds and help other families fighting the same battle. Thank you ❤️
