Auryn's Heroes - Photo Draw

Donation protected
Auryn Phelan is the 6 year old son of Trisha and Barry Phelan, and Barry is a friend of Carolyn's at PwC. 

Auryn was diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma in 2019. This rare and aggressive form of childhood cancer affects approximately 7 to 10 children a year in Ireland. The good news is that he is responding well to treatment - multiple chemotherapy and radiotherapy sessions, two major surgeries, two stem cell transplants and multiple bone marrow aspirates, blood transfusions and other medical procedures. With little disease left, he is now in the last phase of his treatment plan in Crumlin - immunotherapy, which he will complete by the end of the year.  Hopefully, this will lead to the clear scan result that we are so desperately waiting for. 
 
However, Stage 4 Neuroblastoma has an extremely high relapse rate, and very little treatment options if relapse occurs. There is a clinical trial for a vaccine that helps prevent relapse in Neuroblastoma children in the Sloan Kettering Memorial Hospital in New York. The vaccine has had very promising Phase 1 results. This vaccine is not available in Ireland, so Auryn's only option is to travel overseas.

Trisha and Barry have set up a fundraising campaign called Auryn's Heroes, seeking to fund raise €375k by January 2021.  All funds raised will go towards getting Auryn the treatment he needs.

Carolyn and her husband Karl Jordan are looking to help out in some small way by having a draw for  one of Karl's amazing photographs.  Contribute a donation of €10 or more and a ticket for each €10 will be entered into a draw for

The winner will be announced during the first week of December.

All funds raised will go towards getting Auryn the treatment he needs.

Please feel free to share the campaign with friends, family and colleagues. 

We would really appreciate any support you can provide.
