Childhood cancer awareness month - every year I find myself mentally drained after September, it is a hard month but such an important one.

If even just one person spots a sign or symptom that can lead to an earlier diagnosis for a child we will have made a difference!

I would be so grateful if you could share any of our posts relating to this ###x

This September is Childhood Awareness Month and our little girl Olivia has been helping shine a light on the cause!

Her beloved teddy, Corry, inspired the

Thank you so much for all of the messages!

I (mum) am doing that classic thing where I get overwhelmed and can't reply to everyone so just incase I don't (definitely know myself well!) I need you to know how much we appreciate all of the supportive comments and love!

It was certainly nerve wracking, and its always going to be traumatising discussing diagnosis and the worst day of our lives with the world but we do it because we are so passionate about awareness and research for amazing charities close to our hearts.

Children with Cancer UK childhood cancer is devastatingly not rare, there are 2 children diagnosed every single day in the UK alone. For those asking, you can purchase your very own Corry bear in November🐻

All in the name of fundraising and raising awareness which has become our lifes purpose (but its also amazing for Olivia's CV😀)

Day 4 in hospital.

Olivia is still a bit of a mystery.

Her infection markers are still going up and up every single day (with no apparent cause!)...but her temperature has gone for now which is a great sign that her body has battled the worst of it. She has been quite sick, which we blamed on the temperature but we guess it could have been a tummy bug.

We are being discharged on oral antibiotics for now and back in the morning to check bloods again.

Praying its a random virus and not a bacterial infection and we dont get readmitted tomorrow🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for all of the kind messages😘
Olivia is very excited to go home, for now!

Our Olivia has been in her local hospital oncology ward since Friday, fighting a very high fever.

On the positive, right now she has a good (but battered) immune system to fight the cause of the infection which is still unknown 😥.

The ward is pretty depressing at the weekend as it is skeleton staff only and a medical team who don't really know her. It's impossible to even get hold of a water cup for a parent so its not been great but, sadly we are used to it and taking it in turns with Olivia's little sister in tow.

Hoping today we get some results that point to the cause of the infection and can begin to turn the corner 🙏

Double the courage!

Olivia and Eleanor, two unstoppable friends fighting similar battles with an optic nerve glioma brain tumour and severe visual impairment.

Both grabbing life by the horns and absolutely smashing it!

Could not be more proud!!! Eleanor's Voice
