Marathon for Oliwia
Donation protected
Oliwia is 6 and a half years old and has already battled leukemia once. After 10 months clear, she has once again been diagnosed...
The financial pressure, let alone the absolute heartbreak I can only imagine is an incredible amount for a family to manage alone. They need to raise 20,000 to pay for the treatment to help Oliwia battle this illness for the second time.
When I heard about their situation it absolutely broke my heart. So I decided I wanted to do something to alleviate some of the pressure the family will find themselves under. I decided to run the Dublin City Marathon and donate any money raised on this to Oliwia's treatment. However I couldn't get a place in the marathon, so on Nov 17th I'll be running my own marathon out to Bray and back.
I've never actually run a marathon before, so apparently it's going to be quite the challenge. Which I'm sure I'm up to :)
Anything that anybody could do would be really appreciated, I'm sure if we all add a little something we can make a massive difference in this family's and Oliwia's lives. I'll also be adding money into the account myself over the coming weeks.
I've added Oliwia's fathers story below:
Hi everyone we have no choice this time,we have to fight ALL acute limfoblastic leukemia for 2nd time,our little oliwia's was diagnosed firs time in may 2015,after 2,5 years of treatment we thought we won the fight,but after 10 months "normal life" ,we went for our next checkup to the clinic this thursday and they did the blood test,on friday the very next day we've got the phone call that Oliwia's bloods are not good ,and that she relapsed leukemia.
We were planning to go to spain on holidays next month,Oliwia just got the phone call from make a wish foundation she wanted to go to Disneyland Paris after her first fight,she always wanted a dog litlle yorkie but she couldn't ,because of her condition ,she was so good brave and happy at school and we believe she still will be. So please everyone share support pray and help us with this tough journey. Piotr,Aneta,Filip and Oliwia
