Story
This is Frankie. He is a 14 year old boy who is mad about football! Frankie has an extremely rare tumour called Ameloblastoma. He has had this for the past four years. After several operations and the removal of the jaw bone on his left side, the tumour has continued to spread to the tissue in his cheek and base of his skull. It won't stop growing. His parents Gemma and John have been told by Frankie's Consultant there is nothing more that can be done for Frankie in the UK. This is every parents worse nightmare and how distressing for them to be given such awful news. On the 2nd November they were told Frankie had been accepted for Proton Beam Therapy which is currently not available in the UK. On the 16th of November Frankie and Gemma will be flying to Florida for 12 weeks. Frankie is only the 4th person to have this treatment at The University of Florida Proton Therapy Institute www.floridaproton.org. The treatment, flights and accommodation are being paid for by the wonderful NHS. Thankyou NHS. However, they will still have to pay for daily living expenses and this is going to be a struggle. It is all such short notice, but welcome news. I have known Frankie since he was a baby crawling around with my son Fin at Mother and Toddlers at Sherwood Methodist Church. I have set up this page to support them and make sure Frankie has a great Christmas away from home. Please support Frankie by making a donation, he is an amazing, brave young Man. Every donation will be very much appreciated.Thank you.
