    Weʼve raised £5,536 to help pay expenses on Harry’s trip abroad for life changing proton treatment

    Funded on Thursday, 29th March 2018

    Don't have time to donate right now?

    Story

    Harrys chemotherapy has not been working and his tumours are still growing-this has come as a massive shock and we are completely heart broken (again)

    Harry has been through so much in his life, two major operations, learning to walk again, a year of chemotherapy, and now he needs proton therapy-something which isn’t available in this country yet.

    We are waiting to see if the NHS will fund Harry’s treatment (in America or Germany) but because what he has in his brain is so rare-(the oncologists at Addenbrookes haven’t seen anything like it before) the panel have to assess Harry’s case-which will take up to ten days.

    We will need to fund the girls coming out (as being apart from them for at least 8 weeks isn’t an option-we need our family be together)

    We also need to pay for travel insurance, passports, the cost of living-all while keeping the house running at Home. Harry’s dad is self employed, so he will obviously not have any money coming in.

    The stress of the whole thing is bad enough with out having money worries too. So any fundraising or donations would be gratefully received.

    Thank you all for your on going support xxxx

    Harrys story so far-Just after his 5th birthday they found a tumour in his spinal cord. After two major surgeries to partially remove the tumour (the first being 8 hours long and he was kept asleep in intensive care for 36 hours) Harry woke up unable to move, he had to learn to walk again. This was a very difficult time for him, with so many hospital trips to see lots of different doctors, nurses, oncologists, physio's, occupational therapists and psychologists. But he managed to learn to walk again, although he will always struggle and never be able to walk normally.

    Unfortunately they could not remove all of the tumour and it has grown and spread to his brain, he started an 18 month course of chemotherapy, which made him very ill and did more damage to the nerves in his legs and feet. His walking was getting worse and he used his wheelchair a lot of the time. He struggles with so many everyday tasks we all take for granted.

    Harry completed a year of his chemotherapy-but it hasnt worked. He will need more treament-we are just waiting to find out if we get funding.

    The questions harry asks are heart breaking

    'Why does god make tumours?'

    'Why does this happen to me?'

    'Because Harry you are amazing and you can cope with anything.'

      Harry has been given a new trike from a charity-he is loving being able to get out and ride. He is doing really well after no chemo for a couple of weeks, as it’s doing too much damage to the nerves in his feet. We have an appointment with his oncologist next week to work out the next step. All of the support and donations is truly amazing! Thank you all so much x x x
