<p><span style="color: #ff1493;">Every day in the UK, 10 families receive the devastating news that their child has cancer. Seven out of 10 children survive. Statistically, 3 children die every day in the UK of cancer or leukaemia. </span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff1493;">In June 2004, my son Ross, was diagnosed with cancer in both kidneys. He spent 5 months in Yorkhill Hospital where he had weekly doses of chemotherapy, x-ray, ultrasounds, CT scans, MRI scans, cathates, enemas, blood transfusions, kidney failure, dialysis and 8 operations</span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff1493;">Then he had major surgery, where surgeons removed 2 tumours and 1 and a half kidneys. </span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff1493;">Ross is now 8 years old and has been cancer free for 6 years. No-one knows what the future holds for Ross. He may need a kidney transplant and/or a heart transplant. </span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff1493;">I am a woman on a mission now. It is my aim to raise &pound;1m to help other families through the nightmare that my family have been through. </span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff1493;">I&nbsp; will do this through various fundraising events and the sale of the book I've written about Ross' battle against cancer.
