As many of you are now aware my son Emerson was diagnosed with cancer 6 weeks ago, something very sudden and heartbreaking to deal with. His journey so far has been nothing short of incredible for someone so young but he has taken it in his stride and continues to get stronger day by day. He is now on the first stage of recovery after initial chemotherapy, followed by surgery with a further course of chemotherapy to start shortly. The support he has received from the NHS including the Royal Marsden team has been amazing, I also appreciate the overwhelming support from all my friends and family and I can’t thank you enough for being there for us. I have therefore decided to shave my head for this amazing charity and many of you know that this will be a big deal for me but it is the least I can do to try and raise some money for all the children who may have to go through this journey now or in the future. Please donate and share this page-thank you.
