Charlie’s Leukemia Story

Hi all!

Charlie’s family & friends are coming together to support Charlie & his mum, dad & big brother throughout his Leukemia journey.

Charlie is 3 years old, and usually the cheeky chappy of the group with an answer for everything and infectious laugh. He fell ill during Summer 2022, with lots of unexplainable problems and Drs not really sure of what was going on. Fast forward a few weeks, and Charlie became so poorly he was in so much pain and couldn’t walk. After two hospitals and lots of tests, Charlie was diagnosed on the 24th August with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL). “Acute” means that the leukemia can progress quickly and we sure saw that happen.

The families life turned upside down over night and both parents had to immediately stop working (one being self-employed) to be beside their son who has been rushed for further testing including lumbar puncture, chemotherapy, blood transfusions, platelet transfusion, kidney treatment, and steroids.

This means that the family has little to no income and at this moment, cannot make a claim for any financial support until the three month mark. With the current cost of living crisis, travel expenses to and from the hospital and needing to make changes to their family home both mum and dad are struggling to make ends meet. We want to be able to support them above and beyond their day to day lives!

Any funds raised will be spent on giving Charlie the best life possible;

Anything you can spare, no matter how little or big, will help give Charlie the best future possible!
