<div>At just 2 years old, Elliot was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of leukaemia. Now 4, he has spent over 19 months living in hospital, fighting for his life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraiser has been created by his aunties, Sarah and Sue, to support Elliot and his parents, Jenny and Dave, as they face a long and uncertain road to recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Fundraising Goal</strong>
</div>
<div>Our goal is to raise at least £50,000 to support Elliot’s family for the next year and possibly beyond.
</div>
<div>________________________________________
</div>
<div><strong>Elliot’s story</strong>
</div>
<div>In early 2024, Elliot was constantly unwell. His mum Jenny knew something wasn’t right, but they were repeatedly told it was allergies, asthma, or common childhood illnesses.
</div>
<div>On July 11th, everything changed. A blood test led to a devastating phone call—Elliot might have leukaemia.
</div>
<div>Within hours, he was admitted to hospital. That night was the beginning of a journey that is still ongoing nearly two years later.
</div>
<div>________________________________________
</div>
<div><strong>A fight for survival</strong>
</div>
<div>Elliot was diagnosed with JMML, a rare and aggressive blood cancer. His only chance of survival was a stem cell transplant. 
</div>
<div>In September 2024, a donor was found, and Elliot began intense chemotherapy. The treatment made him critically ill.
</div>
<div>Just 10 days after his transplant, Elliot stopped breathing in Jenny’s arms. A crash team was called while nurses performed CPR and his parents watched in terror.
</div>
<div>He survived—but this was only one of many life-threatening complications.
</div>
<div>________________________________________
</div>
<div><strong>What Elliot has endured</strong>
</div>
<div>Over the past two years, Elliot has faced:
</div>
<div>•	life-threatening infections and complications including sepsis and GVHD 
</div>
<div>•	gut failure, leaving him unable to eat for 18 months and counting
</div>
<div>•	he relies entirely on intravenous nutrition which he is attached to 16 hours per day
</div>
<div>•	countless anaesthetics, procedures, transfusions, and surgeries
</div>
<div>•	compression fractures in his spine
</div>
<div>•	loss of mobility and severe pain requiring strong medications
</div>
<div>He has spent too much of his young life in hospital
</div>
<div>________________________________________
</div>
<div><strong>A turning point—and hope</strong>
</div>
<div>In January, Elliot underwent major bowel surgery, which finally relieved the constant pain he had been living with.
</div>
<div>He is now beginning to recover—slowly learning to walk again and starting small feeds.
</div>
<div>Elliot’s cancer is currently in remission.
</div>
<div>Despite everything, Elliot remains incredibly positive. He still finds joy in singing, playing, and making those around him smile. His love of animals has been a constant. 
</div>
<div>________________________________________
</div>
<div><strong>The impact on his family</strong>
</div>
<div>Jenny and Dave have been by Elliot’s side every day and have been unable to work for nearly two years.
</div>
<div>We have watched them break over and over again and somehow reach to depths no one should ever know exists for the strength to keep going. 
</div>
<div>We have seen them step out of Elliot’s hospital room and weep like they might never stop only to return with a smile, a game, a cuddle, or a distraction for their boy. 
</div>
<div>Their entire focus has been keeping their son alive.
</div>
<div>Although they’ve had support from family, the financial strain is ongoing—and Elliot’s recovery will take a long time, with no clear discharge date from hospital.
</div>
<div>________________________________________
</div>
<div><strong>How your donation will help</strong>
</div>
<div>We are raising funds to give Jenny and Dave the financial breathing space to focus fully on Elliot’s care and recovery.
</div>
<div>Your support will help cover:
</div>
<div>•	mortgage and household bills 
</div>
<div>•	essential living costs 
</div>
<div>•	the ongoing reality of hospital life 
</div>
<div>Every donation—no matter how small—will make a meaningful difference.
</div>
<div>________________________________________
</div>
<div><strong>Please help if you can</strong>
</div>
<div>If you’re able to donate, share, or spread the word, you are helping ease the burden on a family who have already been through so much.
</div>
<div>Thank you for your kindness and support ❤️
</div>
<div>— Sarah &amp; Sue
