Help Archie Fulfill a Dream & Access the Care He Deserves

I'm writing this on behalf of my dear friend and her incredible son, Archie. Many of you already know bits of their story, but I want to share it fully — because right now, they need our help more than ever.

Archie has been ill since birth, and his journey has been heartbreaking, brave, and relentless. Despite countless hospital visits, tests, and endless appointments, they struggled for years to get a proper diagnosis — all while fighting for Archie to be taken seriously.

Things took a devastating turn in early 2023. Archie started losing weight at an alarming rate — even though he was eating more than 3,500 calories a day. By September, he was admitted to GOSH (Great Ormond Street Hospital) weighing just 36kg. But instead of getting help, a false allegation by his father led doctors to stop treatment entirely. They claimed he had an eating disorder and that his mother was the cause. Archie was questioned repeatedly. His mum was investigated. And when the truth finally came out and everything was disproved — it was too late. Archie had aged out of their care.

Since then, he’s had a feeding peg fitted and been on 16-hour-a-day feeds plus eating normally. Despite this, he’s barely been able to maintain 42kg — and has now dropped to 40kg again. In February 2025, after finally seeing the right specialists, Archie was diagnosed with CIPO (Chronic Intestinal Pseudo Obstruction), along with colon dysmotility, colon dysphagia, GERD, spina bifida, and Failure to Thrive (FTT).

CIPO is a devastating, rare condition that mimics a complete bowel obstruction — but without any physical blockage. It’s untreatable, and his only chance to stabilize his condition is through TPN (Total Parenteral Nutrition), which involves feeding directly into the bloodstream. With this, doctors estimate Archie might have 10 to 15 years. Without it, and if the weight loss continues, they believe he may have just 18 to 24 months.

Right now, Archie is refusing further treatment. He’s exhausted, he’s in pain, and emotionally he's at a breaking point. His family is doing everything they can to support him and change his mind — but they’re also trying to give him moments of hope and joy.

That’s why we’ve started this GoFundMe.

Archie’s biggest dream is to go to WWE Monday Night RAW Live — and we want to take him in August 2025, while he’s still well enough to travel. At the same time, we want to get him to the Mayo Clinic in the U.S., which has some of the only neurogastroenterology specialists in the world who may be able to offer a second opinion, treatment alternatives, or at the very least, clarity on what lies ahead.

The specific Mayo Clinics that handle cases like Archie’s are in Minnesota, Florida, and Arizona, so the trip will involve complex logistics — not just flights and accommodation, but also medical support along the way.

We are fundraising to cover:

Flights and accommodation for Archie and his mum

Tickets and travel to WWE Monday Night RAW

Private consultation and evaluation at the Mayo Clinic

Any urgent medical expenses while abroad

Travel insurance and accessibility support

This isn’t just about a trip. This is about giving Archie something to look forward to, and hopefully, a chance at life-saving care that he’s never truly had access to.

If you can donate, no matter how small, it would mean the world. And if you can’t, please consider sharing this with your friends and family.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and support a young man who has shown more strength than most of us will ever need to. Let’s help Archie feel hope again.
