My Story

HELP US FIGHT NEUROBLASTOMA, ONE STEP AT A TIME.

This April, we are putting our best foot forward and Pippa, my mum and I are taking on the Stride Through Spring challenge, clocking 10,000 steps each, every day of the month. That's 900,000 steps between us through April. 

Pippa's Story

Pippa was diagnosed with an intermediate risk neuroblastoma on Christmas Eve 2018. It was devastating for our whole family. She's undergone many, many scans, invasive procedures and a major operation to remove most of the tumour in Feb 2019. Due to its location near her spine, some of the tumour had to be left behind. For months we were not sure whether further treatment would be needed. We're very lucky that she is now being monitored regularly for the next few years and so far needs no further treatment as the remaining tumour is deemed stable. Two years post operation and she's been reduced from quarterly scans, to every 6 months 🎉 it was the best news!

She's an inspiration and has a lot to handle for a 4 year old. She takes it all in her stride and is one of the bravest people I know. I am so very proud to call her my daughter.

We want to be able to help those who have to go through further treatment. We've met many brave children on this journey. Kinder and more effective treatments are very much needed. 

Any donations will help Neuroblastoma UK to continue funding vital research projects into new, more effective and kinder treatments for neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive childhood cancer.

Thank you so much for your support.
