<div>In March 2021, when Delilah was just 2 years old her world changed. In a cold A&amp;E waiting room sitting alone on a plastic chair Cherelle found out that her baby girl had Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia.
</div>
<div>That day the world for Cherelle, Glyn, Daisy and Delilah changed overnight.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For the next months, years and what seems like eternity Delilah the Warrior Princess made it through grueling chemo, blood transfusions, steroids, lumbar punctures, IV's, surgeries, daily meds and many many hospital admissions - all starting as a 2 year old.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In Spring 2022 we thought we were losing her. Delilah developed a rare and dangerous group of infections and doctors were not optimistic - they were downright brutal with their assessments and the family were prepped for the very worst outcome. She was on life support and in PICU for weeks where Cherelle never left her side.
</div>
<div>Something so traumatizing to go through was only uplifted when Delilah (our warrior) defied the doctors and recovered from those infections and we thought we were only months away from ringing THAT BELL!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>However.. nothing comes easy for Delilah and in Spring 2023 it was discovered that despite being on chemo and other drugs her cancer had relapsed. What was worse is she would now need a bone marrow transplant and obviously (you guessed it) more chemo and the rest!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Daisy, not to be outdone by her amazingly brave sister, stepped up to the plate and was a miracle perfect match. This is much rarer than it sounds and was a genuinely beautiful day when we heard - there was HOPE!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On the 4th August 2023 Daisy and Delilah became stem cell sisters.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The next months involved full isolation in a room at the Royal Marsden in Sutton where at first the only visits were through a window. Immunosuppressants, Chemo, Daily syringes and tubes everywhere was the norm but as the months moved on and we realised the transplant was holding there was a chance we could look to next steps...
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As I type this we have just passed the 100 days post Stem Cell marker which is a major milestone to overcome in itself
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>BUT... we want to give D some hope. At the moment she is still isolating from the general public and theres a way off until things like school and travelling but if we can give this little warrior something good to look forward to that would just make my day!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The reason we have started this page is because Delilah's mum Cherelle is one of our bridal stylists in store. She has helped hundreds of brides reach their dreams and we felt that we needed to do something for this WONDER WOMAN in return.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the next few months we are going to do a series of silly challenges in store. There may be a day where we all dress as mermaids (D loves a mermaid) or we walk from the store to the Marsden Hospital in wedding dresses - who knows!!!
</div>
<div>And then ultimately we are going to be the THREE PRATS THAT TACKLE THREE PEAKS! The challenge where in just 24 hours you do the 3 highest peaks in the UK - bloody madness!!! BUT if Delilah can get through what she's done then we can climb a hill or 3!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I know times are tough at the moment but we're not asking for a mortgage payment.
</div>
<div>When Delilah is able to travel again the insurances to cover her will be astronomical, not to mention the daily struggle they have just cleaning and disinfecting a house for her to live daily in safety - the cost of cleaning products is my main reason for avoiding the jobs myself but all joking aside anything we can do to help - LETS DO IT! I mean my aim is Disney World First Class plane staying in the bloomin castle so meet me halfway guys and MAKE A WISH come true
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you in advance for anything you can spare to put a smile on such a brave childs face....
