Macey-Mai's stemcell treatment

At Twenty7tec we are raising money for a little girl called Macey-Mai who is 8 years old and lives with a condition called NF1. NF1 is a genetic condition that causes tumours to grow along your nerves but can cause a range of different symptoms including birthmarks, tumours under the skin, clusters of freckles, as well as problems with bones, eyes and the nervous system. Macey-Mai also has a diagnosis of ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder).

Macey-Mai now needs Stem-Cell treatment, Only available privately in the US.

Claire, macey-mai's mom a healthcare worker said:

"For the past 4/5 years, we have spent a lot of time at the hospital with follow up appointments 6 monthly MRI scans and 3 monthly checkups.

Our daughter has made good progress and continues to make progress but unfortunately, a lot of her traits from her autism affects her ability to fulfil all her potential and develop independent living skills. We have been very blessed so far that Macey-Mai has not needed chemotherapy, but what we would like to do is ask for your help to receive donations to have stem-cell treatment.

Stem cell treatment has been known to help children with autism significantly improve adaptive and cognitive functioning. This is something we have also witnessed first-hand when we recently met up with a family whose little boy had this treatment.

It is not open to us, as we could never afford this alone and it is never easy to ask others for help but we are so desperate to see our little girl blossom into all that she can be."

Amongst other activities to raise funds, in September our CEO James Tucker will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro (at his own cost) to raise sponsorship for this excellent cause.
