#AlfiesFundraiser

Alfie was diagnosed with a Medullablastoma brain tumour in September 2019 which is rare but the most common brain tumour seen in children. Alfie survived a life saving 9 hour operation to remove the tumour, a 4 hour operation for a shunt and a further 2 hour operation to repair the shunt. He spent 12 weeks on Ward 10 who saved my boy! He was then moved to ward 18 where he has since undergone 3 cycles of chemotherapy, 6 weeks of Radiotherapy and a further 8 months of chemotherapy. He has had 3 platelet transfusions and 4 blood transfusion and the many more procedures and treatment that he has needed continues. Following Alfies surgery he has had to learn to walk, talk and learn everything again, but the wonderful Rehabilitation team at BCH helped and supported him to learn all of this again. I’m determined to help Alfie get something he really wanted, I’ve never met a little boy like him the bravery him and his family shown since the beginning of this nightmare is unbelievable. I insisted we help them this time. Alfie and his family had to make massive sacrifices after the devastating news and since have raised thousands and thousands in Alfies name with their friends and families help and gave all the money raised to charity. Since meeting Alfie I’ve found out he’s desperate for a French bulldog puppy. I really want to help him and his family not have to pay for this themselves. Let’s all work together with fundraising, challenges and what ever we can do to smash the target and make this little mans dream come true. He‘s never stopped smiling and continues to do so as he keeps battling his illness. If you can spare the money I’d appreciate or even share the page. Let’s keep it going and see what else we can do for Alfie and his family. A cool weekend away for him and his brother too #AlfiesFundraiser
