140.6 miles for Beau ❤️, 12 January 2022
Beau was a kind, considerate, resilient and sassy 6-year-old from Leeds. She always found ways to live her best life. She passed away when she was just 6 years old.

Story

Hi my name is Jessie Lanigan I am 10 years old and I would like you to follow the story of a little girl named Beau.

 At the age of 4 in December 2020 Beau was diagnosed with Stage 4 High Risk Neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive childhood Cancer that at the point of diagnosis has only a 50% chance of long-term survivorship.

Beau's family are fundraising so that she can access the Bivalent Vaccine trial in New York at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center once frontline treatment is completed that aims to keep the cancer from returning. 

Please help Beau live the life she deserves and make her fight count #getbeautosloan

Beau has endured a year of aggressive treatment that has taken her body to the limit. Over the last 12 months she has non-inclusively endured: 

  • 80 days Rapid COJEC Chemo 
  • Extensive Surgery 
  • High Dose Chemotherapy 
  • Stem Cell Transplant 
  • Radiotherapy 
  • Immunotherapy  

Beau’s family are now desperate to raise the money required to get Beau to the US to receive a vaccine that could minimise what is a high risk of relapse, with a bleak survivorship. 

Throughout the month of February I aim to complete the 140.6 miles that makes up the distance of a full Ironman.

Swim 2.4 miles - Bike 112 miles - Run 26.2 miles

I will record every mile covered and keep you updated daily on my progress 🙂

I know this will be a hard challenge for me but no where near the challenge that Beautiful Beau has had this past 12 months! I intend on completing every mile for Beau. 

Please sponsor me and my journey of an 140.6 miles for Beau. Every penny donated will help get Beau to Sloan for the treatment she truly deserves. 

Thank you for taking the time to read Beau’s truly amazing journey and let’s get this little girl the treatment she really deserves ❤️

All my love to you Beau xx

Lots of love Jessie Lanigan
