Baby Emma

This is a heart wrenching story about a little girl and her family. This is an small passage from their website.

"Emma Louise Clittie is 2 years old. Emma has been diagnosed with a very rare childhood cancer called NEUROBLASTOMA.
This cancer is so rare, it only affects around 80 children in the UK. Emma's cancer is at stage 4 and is an aggressive form of NEUROBLASTOMA, she has been given a 20% to 30% chance of beating the cancer.
Emma is currently undergoing chemotherapy in Liverpool's Alder Hay Children's Hospital and is on an 18 month action plan.

Neuroblastoma has not been researched much in the UK or Europe so the Doctors in the UK can only do there best with the research they have. Under the current treatment plan that Emma is on, there is a 70% to 80% chance of this NOT working and if the cancer goes and comes back then there is no cure in the UK or Europe for this.
We hope and pray that Emma will be one of these special children and will beat this nasty cancer.

In America, they do a lot more research into Neuroblastoma and they don't see it as none curable if it comes back, they have researched and have different treatments options available, some taking Emma’s chances to 50%.

This Appeal is about raising money to take Emma to America if no other treatment in the UK works. We have said from Day 1 that even if there was a 1% chance of beating this cancer then we will take it and grab if with everything we have. The treatment in America cost around £200,000. This is a lot of money!!!
But if it cures Emma then it's worth every penny!

To raise this much money could take months or even years and if we ever need to send Emma to America we would need the money there and then to go straight away.

IF WE NEVER NEED TO SEND EMMA TO AMERICA FOR THIS TREATMENT THEN THE MONEY WOULD GO TO RESEARCH FOR NEUROBLASTOMA IN THE UK."
