Story

Anyone reading this is here for a reason. Infact all of you will be reading this because of our daughter, Claudia. Claudia is terminally ill with Metastatic Pinoeblastoma, an incredibly rare and aggressive brain cancer. It is fact, she will die, it is also fact ,that she is only still alive today, due to the hard work and efforts of the Children's Brain Tumour Research Centre at Nottingham University.

To set a target of £100,000.00 is pure stupidity on our behalf, but, like Claudia herself, we have always believed that if you believe in something, anything is possible.....so please, help us all believe. Tomorrow, brain cancer won't be the death sentence that is it today, it will be a disease, that requires treatment and then a whole new life ahead.
