Instead of Red nose day this year we are supporting Ruby, Next week can you help us, we are having a continuous cake sale through out the week. and we are all going to be wearing red. Help us to help this family reach its target.
I am not sure how many of your know about Ruby, this is taken from her Facebook page:
Their 2 year old daughter Ruby had stage 4, high risk neuroblastoma – an aggressive childhood cancer
As with more than half of children diagnosed with neuroblastoma, the cancer had spread throughout Ruby's body by the time she was diagnosed, making her condition one of the most difficult kinds of childhood cancer to treat.
The family are fundraising for the NCCA UK to help Ruby, and other children like her, should she need to follow an expensive treatment path. With a high risk neuroblastoma diagnosis, the probability of relapse is high. Through Ruby's Journey, the NCCA UK can ensure that every possible avenue for treatment is open to her.
Below is a poem written for Ruby by her brother Freddy, 4:
What can we do for Ruby Roo?
The little girl is only two
The poor little honey
Has a tumour in her tummy
Give a penny, give a pound
So a cure can be found.
What can we do for Ruby Roo?
The little girl is only two
Mummy and Daddy they keep crying
To be good I keep trying
Give a penny, give a pound
So a cure can be found.
What can we do for Ruby Roo?
The little girl is only two
I want us to be able to play
But Ruby Roo is sick all day
Give a penny, give a pound
So a cure can be found.
I'm Freddy Robert I'm nearly five,
Please help my sister to survive.
