Story
A 4 year old boys journey to fight against a rare aggressive cancerous brain cancer called sPNET.
Leo had his first 9.5cm tumour in September 2015. Ten days after the operation Leo contracted sepsis and was given hours to live, but he continued to fight and prove the doctors wrong.
Leo also suffered a stroke and convulsions and has been left paralysed in the right hand side.
Only five weeks later a second tumour grew 5cm in size.
Leo underwent a second brain operation November 2015. His parents made the difficult choice to put him through chemo, as the cancer was so aggressive (with only a 20% survival rate)...and he did it.
Leo was in remission from November 2015, with routine MRI scans every 3 months. Leo's scan in November 2016 showed a new growth, another tumour 1cm in size.
Leo then underwent his 3rd brain operation, and after a check-up MRI 5 weeks later, after the operation, doctors found 2 new tumours. The last option to save Leo's life is proton therapy in the United States.
The cost of this is £150,000.
As a values-led business, giving something back means a lot to us. La Fosse Associates has kindly agreed to support my family during this unimaginable situation, and so we ask for your support in helping us to save Leo.
