Here at Redcat Digital, we’re a family. One member of our family, head of content Neil Rogers, received some difficult news recently. Harry, his 15-year-old son, has been diagnosed with Aplastic Anaemia – also called bone marrow failure. It’s a really rare and serious condition where the bone marrow and stem cells don’t produce enough blood cells.

Right now, Harry is undergoing daily blood transfusions to try and correct his blood count and temporarily relieve his symptoms. Next week, he’ll start intensive chemotherapy to prepare his immune system for a bone marrow transplant - which he is receiving from his sister Dina. 

It’s undoubtedly a difficult time for all involved, but one organisation that is providing practical help is the Teenage Cancer Trust. Harry is being treated on a specialist teenage cancer trust ward in hospital - a ward that has been designed specifically for teenagers, with the hope of making the hospital feel a little more comfortable. 

We want to raise as much money as we can for Teenage Cancer Trust so that teens like Harry don’t have their lives turned upside down by a cancer diagnosis, and they can be treated in environments that are meant for them.

We will be kicking off our fundraising efforts on Tuesday 15th October by auctioning off various prizes and experiences. But don't worry, our fundraising efforts won't stop there!

This is a cause close to our hearts, and we’re sure it’s important to you, too. We’d appreciate any help you can offer.
