Story

Just after Harry’s first birthday in 2018 Harry had the usual what we thought ‘starting nursery’ bugs and different illnesses. However the next trip to the Doctors is where our lives changed.

Harry was within 2 days diagnosed with a Hepatoblastoma which is cancer in the liver. He went through 5 rounds of chemo and a big operation to take the remaining out. The care by the NHS at the Royal Stoke and Birmingham children’s hospital where we travelled for treatment was amazing.

9 months later we were given the best Christmas present we could of ever asked for, Harry had beaten the big ‘c’ and 4 days before Christmas rang the bell, with all our closest family and friends in support. 💓💓

He now lives life to the absolute full and makes us proud everyday.

Clic sargent were a very supportive charity from day 1 alongside many others that do brilliant work for those all affected.

When a child is diagnosed with cancer life becomes full of fear, for them and their family. Fear of treatment, but also of families being torn apart, overwhelming money worries, of having nowhere to turn, no one to talk to.

At Young Lives vs Cancer, we help families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. But every day 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news they have cancer. We’ll face it all together – but we can’t do it without you.
