During September 2018 my little niece, Iona, was diagnosed as suffering from an extremely aggressive form of brain stem cancer just weeks before her 5th birthday.

This form of cancer is exceptionality rare, with only around 100 known cases on record internationally. Given how rare this cancer is, medical staff were unsure on the best treatment plan for Iona. She has already been through 12 hours of brain surgery and 6 weeks of daily radiotherapy, Chemotherapy started in mid January and she has now completed 4 cycles of chemo.

During her numerous times in the hospital, both short stays and longer stays, Iona has made friends with the doctors, nurses and specialists, has met Disney princesses, sports stars, Santa, been given gifts and is never short of toys to play with or volunteers to do arts and crafts with her. 

The work that is done in the hospital for the children and parents is exceptional, this charity also helps to buy medical equipment.  After seeing all this first hand I want to help and give something back.... 

Please help me by donating whatever you can, thank you 🙂
