A thuismitheoirí, this year we intend to direct our fundraising efforts for “Childrenin Need” towards a very special & specific child - Ellen Treanor, a little three-year-old from Newry who took ill last year and was diagnosed in January 2018 with stage 4 high-risk Neuroblastoma. Neuroblastoma is a cancer that affects specialised nerve cells which are involved in the development of the nervous system and other tissues.
Ellen’s parents have joined forces with Solving Kid's Cancer, a Neuroblastoma charity, to try to raise money that would allow Ellen to take part in a clinical trial, in the hope of increasing her chance of survival. The hope is to get Ellen into remission (no evidence of disease) by the end of her frontline treatment and so that Ellen can take part in two different clinical trials, both in America, for children in remission. They both aim to stop the disease from returning.
We ask for a donation of £1 per child for our ‘Lá Pitseámaí’/Pyjama day this Friday 16.11.18 for Children in Need’. Múinteoir Brenda has helped with fundraising efforts throughout the summer and will see that all donations from BBB will go directly to Ellen’s journey. See more of Ellen's Journey @ Home- Facebook.
