Title: Emma Hoolin - Please read Post by: Phil on September 27, 2011, 07:12:39 PM Hi All,
This has nothing to do with cars. A friend of mine at work his four year old niece is suffering from a very aggressive form of cancer called Neuroblastoma. Below is the email that he sent to me, please read it and have a look at the links, if you can pass this on to people you know outside of this forum that would be great. Thanks Phil. Hi All Please can you spare a minute of your time to look at the following? I am sending this out to everyone I know and hope after reading this and looking at the two links below you will do the same. My four year old niece Emma was diagnosed with a high risk aggressive cancer that mainly affects children under the age of five. Emma has been undergoing aggressive treatment at Manchester Children?s Hospital, her treatment ends in October, then she needs a further six months of immunotherapy. To have the best chance of survival Emma needs to have this treatment in the U.S.A . The cost of the treatment is likely to cost in excess of ?210,000 which as you will agree, is a huge sum of money. Over the coming weeks/months Emma?s family and friends will be carrying out various fund raising activities to raise as much money as possible. We are looking for donations from as many people as possible, whatever the amount. We are also looking for fundraising ideas and volunteers. if you are looking at taking part in a charity event in the near future or would like to organise one, please can we ask if you will do it on behalf of Emma? We will also be looking at distributing collection tins at various locations. If you could accommodate one please let me know.

Thankyou for sharing this with us all and it certainly puts many things in life into perspective. There should easily be ?2k from this forum alone. Please keepus updated on the progress.

If you want to see it, below is a link to a local granda tv news programme that Emma and her Mum were on. http://www.itv.com/granada/finding-funds-for-emma50492 |
