Meet Tommy.....

Tommy was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia in October 2017, just before his 5th birthday. Since his treatment started he has been unable to walk without help and struggles with strength and balance. Tommy has always been a really active boy and loved enjoying the outdoors with his older brother and sister. Cancer has already limited his quality of life in the short time since his diagnosis and having a bike would help him physically and emotionally as it’s something he could do with his siblings out of the hospital environment.

Before Tommy’s diagnosis, the family had planned to buy all three children bikes for Christmas but having to travel 1.5 hours each way to hospital at least 3 times per week for treatment on top of extra childcare costs has depleted their Christmas budget. Bikes would have such a huge positive impact on Tommy, Katie and Harry and it would be lovely to be able to provide these as their Christmas presents after a tough couple of months.

The bikes donated will include a special lightweight bike for Tommy which will be much easier to ride and will help to rebuild some leg strength.

Merry Christmas!
