Story
Dylan is a brave young boy who has been fighting leukaemia since his diagnosis back in January 2021.
Dylan was aged just 2 when he was diagnosed. More than half of his life has already been consumed with his diagnosis and treatment. He's had to be held down for treatment whist the doctors get vital needles into him. We used to have to barricade the door to stop him from trying to leave the hospital. The trauma he has and continues to go through is more than any child should ever have to experience.
Dylan has to have his bloods checked every two weeks, Chemotherapy through his vascular port fitted in his chest every four weeks, Lumbar punctures every 3 months as well as oral chemotherapy and antibiotics daily at home. We remain determined to raise awareness and funds for this devastating disease.
Dylan's dad had to give up work to be with Dylan full time so we was without an income for such a considerable amount of time. When Dylan is admitted with a high temperature and possible infection there is a high risk of sepsis shock due to him having the vascular port fitted. Meaning a minimum 48h admittance into hospital every time. Recently this has been two maybe three times a month as he is at school mixing with others. Whilst there the cost of food for Dylan and parents is extortionate. Every month after chemotherapy he has to take steroids which cause his appetite to get excessive and parents often having to cook sausages and mash at 3am as he never stops eating!
He spends so much time in hospital the main priority for Dylan is to make sure he enjoys his short times out of hospital as much as possible. Dylan's absolute favourite place is the beach and seeing his little face smiling is just precious. Unsure of what the future is for Dylan; so family try their best to make his childhood memories filled with more of what he enjoys instead just hospital treatment rooms, needles or chemotherapy.
A Just giving page has been set up and a fundraising event has been scheduled for the 19th of August to support Dylan's cause, By coming together we can make a difference in the lives of childhood cancer.
Thank you so much!
