Half for Hallie

On the 16th September I will be running the Battersea half marathon to raise money for Hallie.

For those who aren't aware, in the summer of 2022 while on her first family holiday in Spain, Hallie was diagnosed with JMML, a rare type of leukaemia, at just 8 months old.

Hallie was subsequently flown home and began treatment in Birmingham Children’s Hospital (BCH) where she has bravely taken on endless chemo, 2 gruelling stem cell transplants and countless blood transfusions and still always has a smile on her face.

Sadly, the latest transplant has not worked and after global discussions, the team at BCH have said the only way left to save Hallie’s life involves a CAR T-cell therapy trial which will hopefully be starting in Great Ormond Street Hospital very soon, and if not then in America. This is going to cost in excess of £1 million. This is because a third transplant can’t be funded by the NHS & this therapy needs one.

Even the smallest of donations will go towards saving her life.

All donations will be added to the Rally for Hallie fund.

Thank you in advance.
