Story
I am planning to complete the 3 peaks challenge on the 18th/19th August 2018 with two good friends Karl and Tony. The challenge is to climb the highest peaks in Scotland (Ben Nevis), England (Scafell Pike) and Wales (Snowdon) all within a 24 hour period.
We are trying to raise some much needed funds for Jossie Leaver who is four years old and has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer - high risk neuroblastoma.
About a month ago I found out about Jossie, who is the daughter of a close friend, and her daily ordeal that no four year old should ever have to endure. Her treatment includes chemotherapy, daily injections, regular blood transfusions and endless hospital visits. Many more months of intensive chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy will then follow.
Currently the NHS does not fund potentially life saving immunotherapy that is available in many countries across Europe and the USA. Any funds that we raise will go directly to Jossie's family to ensure that they can get this treatment for Jossie that can cost up to hundreds of thousands of pounds.
We couldn’t just sit back and do nothing and if this challenge goes some way to helping this brave little girl get back to health then it will have been worth the small effort in comparison to the challenges that Jossie is currently facing. A massive thank you for any sponsorship you are able to donate to this cause.
