    Weʼve raised £1,077 to help treatment of 7-year old Kaleigh's (Kaleigh's Trust) brain tumour

    Funded on Monday, 7th August 2017

    Don't have time to donate right now?

    Story

    I and a friend are planning to cycle approximately 100 miles both on and off-road around the North Wessex Downs... in a day on 14th July 2017.

    This is to raise awareness and funds to treat the 7-year old daughter, Kaleigh, of one of my best friends, Scott. Kaleigh is one of 40 children diagnosed every year in the UK with an appalling brain tumour called Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG).

    Research and treatment options are very limited for this horrible condition - life expectancy of 9 months from diagnosis (Kaleigh is 13 months..), and currently fatal in 99% of cases.

    Scott and his family, Yang, and his 5-year old boy, Carson, are having to travel to Mexico for treatment; they have raised £150k of an expected £300k. Even if it ultimately is unsuccessful, Kaliegh's case will contribute valuable knowledge to the research base.

    The family have shown such resourcefulness and strength of character in such unimaginable circumstances.... For more information google 'Kaleigh's Trust'.

    Thank you for reading, and my heartfelt thanks if you do feel you can support them.

      Thanks to all who have so generously supported - more money raised offline as well which is great. How did we get on? Well, we did it, slowly, but that was the aim - 10 hours cycling and 12 hours door-to-door (we quickly learned that eating and riding off-road simultaneously are entirely incompatible activities...) Have just spoken to little Kaleigh's father; Kaleigh has responded well to the initial treatment but there's a long way to go. Thanks to all our sponsors.

      Well, the t-shirts have arrived...and the training is going....steadily. Not sure either of us have done enough training if we're honest, but hoping that nutrition, pacing, and mental fortitude will get us through! Thanks for your support.
