I am fairly new to Mumsnet but I am after help from other Surrey mums .... and dads! .... anyone that can help to raise awareness and funds for a little 6 year old boy called Adam, living in Epsom, who has a rare and aggressive form of cancer.
He is currently being treated at the Royal Marsden but the family need to raise £300k (£64k already raised) to send Adam to America to receive further treatment. Since his diagnosis Adam has had surgery to remove a gland in his neck, had an intravenous line fitted directly into his heart for drug administration, undergone 8 months of intensive chemotherapy, endured dozens of invasive testing procedures and needed numerous blood and platelet transfusions. Such a lot for a little boy to go through. Despite all his treatment he has not responded well and detectable cancer cells remain active in his bone marrow and throughout his body.
Please go to adamsappeal.org to read more and hopefully make a direct donation, or ask your local schools etc. to raise money and help give Adam the future he deserves.
