Story

In August of 2016, Alyssa was diagnosed with ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukaemia). Since then she has spent countless nights as in-patient - undergoing complex procedures & transfusions, as well as enduring an intensive course of chemotherapy which at times has left her, drained, nauseous, bald & struggling to walk. Cancer is never something we want a loved one to endure, but at three years old, it robbed Alyssa of a normal existence for an extended period of what should be one of the most fun times of her life.

We want to do something special with Alyssa once she's in remission & no longer immunosuppressed - it's the least a little warrior like her deserves. But we’re aiming big & funds are tight right now, so we're reaching out for help. Dad’s recording a new album & growing his hair long (which is already making people laugh!). Despite a severe lack of fitness we've committed to completing a marathon & - ignoring a fear of heights - we’re also going to be jumping out of a plane… Alyssa, you must be loved!

5 years agoThank you so much for all your support. Your generosity helped Alyssa adopt, meet & feed Nicholas - a friendly, happy 17 year old male Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphin who lives at the CMA in Tampa. After learning about Nicholas & the work the CMA do, Alyssa has decided to pursue a career in marine biology - so she can help poorly animals & fight for their rights. Pictured here is the magical moment Nicholas said hello to our little warrior princess & changed her life forever...
