Story
Isla is a beautiful little Hammer that we all know and love.
She has been fighting Neuroblastoma for many years now and we have been raising money for her to help her get the treatment she needs abroad which is quite sad that we have to do that, pay for such much needed treatment for a child but we keep going and keep fighting just like she does everyday! She inspires us everyday!
Sadly funds are lowering everyday but we need to keep going and if I can help I will in everyday possible.
Neuroblastoma is a rare type of cancer that mostly affects babies and young children.
It develops from specialised nerve cells (neuroblasts) left behind from a baby's development in the womb.
Neuroblastoma most commonly occurs in 1 of the adrenal glands situated above the kidneys, or in the nerve tissue that runs alongside the spinal cord in the neck, chest, tummy or pelvis.
It can spread to other organs, such as the bone marrow, bone, lymph nodes, liver and skin.
It affects around 100 children each year in the UK and is most common in children under the age of 5.
The cause is unknown. There are very rare cases where children in the same family are affected, but generally neuroblastoma does not run in families.
