DENNY WAS DIAGNOSED WITH ALL LEUKEMIA WHEN HE WAS 3. HE WENT THROUGH EXTENSIVE CHEMO WHICH EVENTUALLY PUT THE LEUKEMIA INTO REMISSION. FOR TWO YEARS HE HAD CONTINUOUS CHEMO TO KEEP THE CANCER AWAY. WHEN DENNY WAS FIVE WHILST STILL RECEIVING TREATMENT HIS LITTLE SISTER MARLEY MAE ALSO DEVELOPED THE SAME CANCER, SHE WAS RUSHED TO HOSPITAL AND TREATMENT BEGAN. 2 WEEKS LATER DENNYS CANCER THEN RETURNED, THIS WAS 2 MONTHS AGO. BOTH CHILDREN SINCE THEN HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH INTENSIVE CHEMOTHERAPY. LITTLE MARLEYS CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM IS SO DAMAGED BY THE CHEMO SHE HAS LOST THE USE OF HER LEGS, WE ARE HOPING THE MOVEMENT WILL RETURN BUT HER MAIN CHEMO HAS BEEN STOPPED TO SEE IF HER NERVES RERURN, WHICH PUTS HER IN DANGER OF CANCER RETURNING. WE HAVE ALSO JUST RECEIVED THE DEVASTATING NEWS THAT THE INTENSIVE CHEMO DENNY RECEIVED HAS NOT WORKED. HE STILL HAS CANCER IN HIS BONE MARROW. HE STARTED 2 EXTRA CHEMOS DIRECTLY INTO HIS SPINE TODAY TO HOPEFULLY CONTROL THE CANCER AND FOR IT NOT TO SPREAD UPWARDS. DENNY IS AWAITING A BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT BUT CAN NOT HAVE IT UNTIL HE IS IN REMISSION. We ARE HOPING THAT THE EXTRA CHEMOS WILL FIGHT IT. THROUGH-OUT ALL THIS THESE CHILDREN HAVE EXPERIENCED SO MUCH SICKNESS, TERROR AND ISOLATION, THEIR LIVES HAVE BEEN AND CONTINUING TO BE A LIVING HELL. ME AND MY FAMILY ARE DESPERATELY TRYING ANYTHING WE CAN TO KEEP THEIR SPIRITS UP. TO SHOW THEM SOME HAPPINESS TO GET THEM THROUGH THIS JOURNEY. I AM CREATING THIS PAGE AS I WANT TO BE ABLE TO CREATE ENOUGH MONEY FOR MY NIECE AND NEPHEW TO SEND THEM TO CENTER PARKS WITH THEIR SIBLINGS AND FAMILY SO THEY CAN HAVE SOME NORMALITY AND FUN AWAY FROM HOSPITALS AND MISERY. I WANT TO RAISE THEIR SPIRITS. I ALSO WANT TO TAKE THEM TO HAMLEYS AND SAY TO THEM "HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT" TO RAISE MONEY I HAVE ORGANISED A SPONSORED WALK AROUND BEWL WATER.
EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO TAKE PART WHETHER YOU KNOW THE CHILDREN OR NOT. LETS GET TOGETHER AND SHOW MARLEY AND DENNY SOME HAPPINESS.
