Me and another 11 friends from the gym are participating in Rough Runner (www.roughrunner.com) at Arley Hall on Saturday 15th June, a TV gameshow inspired obstacle course - think Total Wipeout, Gladiator's and Ninja Warrior!! - which I was originally doing as just a bit of fun!? when I saw the opportunity to hopefully get sponsorship from friends and family to support Freddie's Fight. Freddie is the 3 year old son of friend's of mine in North Yorkshire and I would like to do all I can to help their fundraising.

All money raised will go to Freddie's Fight as a result of a special arrangement with Solving Kid's Cancer Charity.

For those of you who don't have access to Freddie's Fund page on Facebook here are a few details about Freddie's Fight taken from his page:

This beautiful, kind, happy and gentle bubbly little boys' fight started when he was two years old with trips back and forth to the doctors every couple of weeks after he started vomiting, losing weight, becoming lethargic yet not sleeping, becoming clingy and generally just not being himself.

Freddie was diagnosed with a malignant tumour that was 10cm in size and the cancer was also identified in multiple lymph nodes. It took over a month to fully diagnose the type of cancer but the end diagnosis was Stage 4 Neuroblastoma MYCN amplified chromosome.

This is high risk (the most aggressive because it spreads so quickly) and metastatic, having spread to multiple areas of bone.

This type of cancer offered a 35% chance of survival.

Freddie has undergone Chemotherapy for 80 days, surgery to remove the tumour and most of the lymph nodes affected by the cancer a stem cell transplant, radiotherapy and immunotherapy.

Even in full remission there is a 50% chance of the cancer returning. If this happens Freddie's chance of survival is reduced to only 10%. As promising as new treatments in the UK are, the chance of him relapsing to the cruel disease are too high.

The family decided to make his fight public as a new vaccine has been invented in America which is giving children a lot higher chance of being cured from this type of cancer. The chance of him getting a relapse after receiving the vaccine decreases from 50% to 20%.

While the cost of getting him this bivalent vaccine in New York is massive (£250,000), the potential cost of him not receiving it are unthinkable.

Please can I ask you, from the bottom of our hearts to help little Freddie as much as you are able to.
