Will you help a child like Niall this Christmas?
Christmas should be a magical time for children as they look forward to twinkling fairy lights, a visit to Santa and decorating the tree.
But for a child facing a cancer diagnosis, and their family, the normal festivities can look a bit different.
This year we are asking for support in the Children’s Cancer Unit.

Niall's Story
Niall, who recently turned seven, was diagnosed with Leukaemia in March 2022 after complaining of a sore leg for several months.
His mum Elle said:
"Niall was always a bright, fun-loving little boy but in that moment, everything changed for us as a family and suddenly we were faced with a scary new reality and a very uncertain future.
Within a few hours of receiving his diagnosis, Niall was admitted to the Children's Cancer Unit at the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children and the medical team began preparing him to start treatment."

£15 will purchase a welcome backpack for a child
All newly diagnosed children will receive a welcome back pack containing useful information and a range of supplies.
-
£30 will fund a session with a member of our Play Specialist team
Play is a vital part of a child’s cancer journey. It can help to prepare them for different stages of their treatment and combat the anxiety linked to unfamiliar surroundings, painful procedures and fears about the future.
-
£100 will allow a child to access the necessary equipment required for our school robotics programme
This means children can be part of the normal school day and keep in touch with their teachers and classmates, reducing isolation during treatment.
