Georgie's Fund Fighting Neuroblastoma Georgie's Fund has been set up in memory of a dear little boy George Hayhoe who lost his battle against Neuroblastoma on 21st January 2004 aged just 8 years old. Georgie's Story has been written by his Mum, it is a moving account of Georgie's short life. After reading it you will understand why we have started Georgie's Fund and why we are determined to succeed! We want to raise as much money as we can in Georgie's name to research into a cure and new treatments for Neuroblastoma. Neuroblastoma is a rare and aggressive childhood cancer that is diagnosed in around 100 children in the UK each year. Once diagnosed the survival rate is just one in five. There is NO government funded research into this disease. For more information have a look at our LEAFLET. To view the leaflet you will need to have installed Adobe Reader. Thank-you so much to the 2,417 of you that signed our petition. You can read the Government's response here. Sid Sloane and the Three Peaks Challenge Sid our patron and eleven others are going to attempt "The Three Peaks Challenge" in May 2010 to raise funds for Georgie's Fund. This involves climbing three mountains in just twenty four hours!! To sponsor Sid and to keep track on his progress leading up to the challenge visit his justgiving page: www.justgiving.com/sidsloane Adidas Womens 5K Challenge On the 6th September 2009 Eilish Stone ran in the Adidas Womens 5k in Hyde Park to raise money for GF. This was all the more remarkable because Eilish was in a nasty accident last year spending many weeks in hospital. When she came out of hospital she had to wear a back brace for a long time. We would like to congratulate Eilish on the successful completion of her courageous challenge and for raising over £400 for GF. Megan Jesson Samantha Megan was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma when she was 6 months old. Megan is currently in remission and doing really well. Jesson sadly lost his fight against neuroblastoma on the 29th October 2007, we are all devastated. Little courageous Princess Sammy lost her battle against this wicked disease on the 15th April 2008. Our thoughts are with her family. Megan's Site Jesson's Site Samantha's Site Other Brave NB Fighters! Mission Statement | Contact Us | Disclaimer | Sitemap Copyright Georgie's Fund 2004-2010 ©
