My name is George, i'm 12 and I NEED to raise funds for Reuben, whose only 3 years old.

Last year Reuben at the age of 2 fell ill, and spent this third birthday in hospital having scans and tests to try and discover what was wrong. Eventually it was discovered that he had a very rare and aggressive form of cancer, called Metastic Neuroblastoma, which effects fewer than 100 children a year in the UK. The cancer had already spread from his abdomen to his bones, and to his bone marrow. This was absolutely devastating news for his mum and dad, and the news just seemed to get worse at every turn.

Reuben has to put up with so many uncomfortable tests through his treatment, but is a beacon of light for his family, his journey however has only just started. He needs extensive treatment which is just not available in UK, so I, like lots of other people, are raising funds to help him get treatment once he is in remission to give him a chance of life!

I'm George I'm 12 years old and I'm fit - Reuben is 3 years old, and he's not too fit

I absolutely love swimming - Reuben would love to go swimming

I'm looking forward to a great life in front of me - Reuben and his family are praying, fighting and hoping

My mum and dad love me to bits - Reuben mum and dad love him to bits

Will you help, even just a little, to give this fantastic little kid a fighting chance?

I'm going to swim over 70 lengths, 1 mile non stop at my amazingly supportive school, LEIGHTON PARK near Reading.....will you at least give a bit to help?

Thanks so much for reading this
