Freddie, a boy born with a rare form of eye cancer, received lifechanging treatment after the condition was detected early thanks to the Generation Study 💜

The new study screens babies for over 200 genetic conditions.

Four weeks after being born and having his genome sequenced as part of the study, Freddie was diagnosed with hereditary retinoblastoma, a condition where early detection is crucial for preserving vision. As a result of the early diagnosis, he has been able to access faster, life changing treatment and his doctors are hopeful of being able to save Freddie’s vision.

"He walked into our lives at the exact moment when we needed him."

The parents of two-year-old Harper have thanked the surgeon who saved her after she was diagnosed with a brain tumour.

Harper was rushed to our Children's Hospital where Consultant Paediatric Neurosurgeon, Mr William Lo, performed a seven-hour operation to save her life and remove the tumour.

Her dad George shared: “To say he changed our daughter’s life is an understatement. We felt so helpless handing Harper’s life over to him and his team and it’s a memory that will stay with us forever.

“But Mr Lo delivered and far exceeded expectations. The surgery went extremely well and while her journey continues, Mr Lo and his team gave her the chance she needed.”

Families at our hospital often experience huge upheaval when looking after a sick child or baby. They face reduced income, relationship strain, housing problems, transport issues and the need to adapt to new situations. Many parents tell us they’re simply unable to leave the hospital to find local advice agencies, because of the long wait times and need to keep returning which impacts on time with their child or baby.

To better support these families, your donations have helped to provide funding so Citizens Advice could be on site at both our Women’s and Children’s Hospitals, for two days a week each.

In the last year, we’ve been able to support over 1,000 people, helping patients and families to receive over £320,000 worth of previously unclaimed welfare benefits. We know health is much more than the care we provide, which is why we have supported this invaluable initiative. Watch our video to learn more about the service and how it's helped families like Khalda and Bashir, who needed support while their daughter, Jawaher was in our care.
