Hi, I’m Louise, I’m 14, and I’ve recently been diagnosed with stage three Hodgkin’s lymphoma. It’s been a lot to take in and pretty scary, but I’m trying to stay positive and take things one step at a time.

Before I start chemo, I’m cutting my hair and donating it to the Little Princess Trust, so it can help other kids and teenagers who lose their hair during cancer treatment. During my treatment, I’ll be getting a wig to help me feel more like myself.

A lot of people keep asking me if I’d like presents, and honestly I don’t really know what to ask for. I thought this would be a good way for anyone who wants to help to do so, and it means I can get myself something when I’m actually feeling up to it.

I’m fundraising to help with:

• The cost of my wig (which starts at £400)

• A celebration day when I finish my treatment

• Money to go towards Teenage Cancer Trust who are helping me on this journey

Even just sharing this means a lot. Thank you so much for supporting me.

P.S. I fully plan on beating this
