Story

Thanks for looking at this page but this little girl really needs our help to raise funds for the research that is required for her condition.

Please read on and help

My name is Richard Simpson I have natural curly hair and I work for Metro rod south Yorkshire (Drainage and Plumbing) and was told by my MD Dan Rhodes of Zella's storey as another branch in Cambridge was trying to raise funds. So I decided this was a great cause to let it grow wild and then shave it all off currently its 6 inches long by the end of November this should be 7-8 inches long I will be shaving this off on the 1st of December 2023 to try and raise as much money for the charity as possible

Little Zella's story

Zella was diagnosed 1 week before her second birthday she was slightly poorly her mum took her to A&E to get checked over.

not thinking to much about it, and expecting to be home in a couple of hours to then being taken for an ultrasound in a room full of doctors and thinking this was strange.......after getting back to her bed in A&E mum was told that she needed to get Zella's dad there urgently.

Rachel was told what all parents don't want to hear Zella had a large tumour in her abdomen/pelvis area there were multiple tests done and 48 hours later was told it was Neuroblastoma.
