Cancer Costs - Darcy's story
Donation protected

Unfortunately, Darcy relapsed from the standard treatment for his cancer and had a Stem Cell transplant in November 2018, sadly he relapsed again and is currently on Ward 6 at Sheffield Children's Hospital. He was readmitted in January 2020 and is facing a second transplant on 2 April 2020. Darcy has taken part in clinical trials with chemotherapy drugs alone costing over £40K.
The main goal here is to secure funding to support the additional 'hidden' costs of living with a child with cancer - for example, in order to be with Darcy for his second transplant his parents will have to spend a further £900 on parking alone, this is with a 50% reduction - despite the Governments recent pledge of 'free-parking' from 1st April 2020 . Darcy's parents would like to thank you sincerely for any support to reduce the crippling financial burden. We are aiming to raise £10 000 to continue supporting Darcy, every penny donated will be used to ensure the family remain together as much as possible.
Last November, CLIC Sargent attempted to lobby Parliament about this issue (#Cancercosts) but this was around the time of Brexit debates so little impact or awareness was raised. Please do take a look at Darcy's short video clip which was done in an attempt to support the national campaign for CLIC Sargent.
