For my birthday I'm doing a 51 in 51 home workout plan. Will you support me as I'm raising funds to help support the ongoing treatment of Alfred Johnson.

He is the son of David and Carla Johnson and grandson of Margaret Graham who is a vital part of LifeSpring Community Church. I've known David and Carla for many years, and had the extreme pleasure of speaking at their wedding. Here is the story of their son Alfred.

At 4 years old in January 2024, our little boy Alfred had some tummy aches that wouldnt go away. After just three trips to the doctors we were referred to our local hospital and a massive tumour was discovered in Alfred’s abdomen.

Alfred was diagnosed with high risk neuroblastoma – an aggressive cancer with a less than ideal prognosis. His tumour was the size of a watermelon and he had metastases on his liver and lung.

Alfred’s treatment has included induction chemo, major surgery to remove the tumour, high dose chemo, a stem cell transplant, 20 rounds of radiotherapy, and months of immunotherapy.

In Jan 2025 we found out Alfred had relapsed during treatment with a new tumour and a new spot in his lung.

Prognosis for relapsed neuroblastoma is poor but have begun a promising new clinical trial. If this doesn’t work, we will need to look outside the UK for treatment options.

Alfred is a happy, boy who loves gardening and going out on his scooter to visit his favourite shops and cafés in Tiptree. He gets tired easily, needs support keeping his weight up and relies on a NG tube for nutrition and medicine

In January, almost a year to the day after Alfred's neuroblastoma diagnosis, his cancer came back while we were still on treatment.

NHS treatment is fairly limited and it's looking likely that we'll have to go abroad for life saving treatment which could cost anything from £100k to £500k.Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
