    Story

    Our beautiful daughter Emma was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2014 aged 10. She also had severe hydrocephalus (Built up brain fluid causing high amounts of pressure on the brain). She had to have two brain surgeries and was in Saint George's hospital for six weeks.
    Her surgeon couldn't remove a 100% of the tumour as it was attached to her brain stem and removing all of it would have had severe consequences. approximately 15% still remains.
    Emma's recent MRI scan has revealed that it has started to grow again.
    She has been referred to the Royal Marsden and they have said the best treatment for Emma, to save her life, is proton therapy. This type of therapy is currently only available in America.
    We have been told the treatment takes between around 5 to 9 weeks to be affective.

    As Emma's dad is a self employed electrician, and of course he will need to be by Emma's side during treatment in America, we will have no income what so ever. As we have had very little time to prepare for this situation we are relying n the generosity of friends, family and anyone willing to give to help us through this time.
    Any amount that you give would be so greatly appreciated. thank you for taking the time to read this and a million thanks to everyone who donates.

      Hello everyone, thank you again for all of your support. We have had to alter the original fund raising amount under advice from parents that have been in the same situation as us! Also we have only just been fully informed of all costs that we will incur whilst in America! With out your support we would find this impossible.xxxxx
