This charity is close to my heart because of a little cheeky lady that I know who was diagnosed with Retinoblastoma when she was very young and has coped with so much at such a young age and has come through the other side.
Olivia, you are such a brave and courageous little lady those parents, Chris & Stefania (who was pregnant at the time with Ethan), have been through so much and I'm very proud to call you my friends.
So please dig deep and sponsor me no matter how small your donation is, this is for a very worthy cause and will help families who are affected by this awful cancer.
