100 Mile Cycle for Freya Bevan

Freya Bevan is a beautiful little girl who was diagnosed with a P.N.E.T Brain Tumour when she was 22 months old. Freya underwent two major brain surgeries, countless cycles of Chemotherapy, a bone marrow transplant and Proton Beam Therapy in America. For the last 5 years Freya has been having MRI scans to monitor the tumour, and sadly in October last year the scan showed a new tumour had grown. Freya had a further brain surgery on the 31st December where most of the growth was removed, however the results of the biopsy were devastating, and showed that the tumour was a high-grade Glioma. Everyone agreed that Freya needed to travel back to America to have more Proton-Beam Therapy with the same Doctor that treated Freya the first time. Freya arrived in America on the 22nd February and has been poorly since, experiencing severe headaches and vomiting; she was taken for an urgent MRI scan, where the results showed that the tumour has grown and spread rapidly throughout Freya's brain. Freya is no longer eligible for Proton-Beam Therapy, however her Doctor does not want to give up hope and feels she will be able to have Photon-Beam Therapy which will blast the tumour to try and stop any more progression. Freya will also need oral chemotherapy, and her Doctor will be looking into any clinical trials that she may be eligible for. Freya and her family are unable to travel back to the U.K, as there is no further treatment available here, meaning the only hope we have is for Freya to stay in America with the amazing Doctors and treatment they have available there.
