In memory of Stanley Appleton
Stanley’s parents, Sarah and Paul created the Smiles for Stanley Fund to raise funds for pioneering research in memory of their gorgeous son. A donation to the Smilies for Stanley Fund will help fund innovative neuroblastoma research.

Story

Stanley was the amazing son of my friends, Sarah and Paul. At 18 months of age his parents received the devastating news that Stanley had stage 4 neuroblastoma. Six months later, after an intense battle enduring endless treatments and extended hospital stays, sadly Stanley fell asleep for the final time, aged just 2 years and 11 days. This October will be his 5 year anniversary which is why I wanted to do something special in his memory and fundraise for a neuroblastoma charity that supported Stanley and his parents during his treatment.

Solving Kids Cancer are dedicated to giving these children a better chance of survival whilst empowering families to access the best possible treatment for their child and facilitating vital research into this cruel disease. Thank you for your support.
