<div>On the 6th of October 2024, while in Sicily, Hannah was completing her final long distance training run for the Dublin marathon. Sadly she never got to finish the run.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Only several kilometres into the run, while crossing at a pedestrian crossing she was struck by a car and sent flying approx 15 feet across the road, landing on her head.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She suffered devastating brain injuries and underwent 3 hours of life saving neurosurgery where a large piece of her skull was removed in order to access her brain and relieve the pressure. The piece of skull has yet to be replaced. Following her neurosurgery she was transferred to ICU where she remains today.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The initial prognosis was not good, but the Neurosurgeons in Sicily said they considered Hannah to be like their little sister and vowed not to give up hope, her survival was their top priority.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since the initial surgery Hannah has undergone several additional surgeries including a tracheotomy and fitting of a catheter to her head to remove excess brain fluid, she is receiving frequent CT scans in order to monitor the swelling on her brain however, she has remained in a coma since the accident.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are beginning to see some glimmers of hope as she has started to react to touch and is making some minor movement, what her recovery will look like is still unknown.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hannah is an amazing young woman and her strength and determination is what has kept her with us. She’s a fighter who is making her family prouder day by day at how resilient she is. She will be utterly devastated when she learns that she missed the Dublin Marathon which she was due to complete 10 years after her Dad completed it, both of them dedicating it to Hannah’s grandmother Caroline.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hannah’s Dad (Kevin), Mum (Vanessa), Brother(Dylan), Sister(Lily) and Boyfriend (Cathal) are all in Sicily with her, visiting her in the ICU whenever permitted and hoping above all hope to see even the tiniest improvements each day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This gofundme is on behalf of Hannah and her family to support them with their expenses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We will use this page as a way to
</div>
<div>communicate updates.

Support Hannah Leonard & family in medical emergency abroad

<div>Helen here, this December I’ll be running 10 km every single day, rain or shine, frost or storm. No excuses, and the reason I’m doing it is for Oscar.
</div>
<div>Most of you will recognise Oscar from my stories of him and Jake. He is Jakes best friend and the two are inseparable.
</div>
<div>Oscar is just 5 years old. He’s kind, funny, and full of life. But this summer his family received news no parent should ever get. Oscar has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), a rare and progressive muscle wasting disease.
</div>
<div>This horrendous disease will slowly steal oscars ability to move, breathe, and eventually without help live independently.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He may look and act just like any other child. But inside his muscles, a critical protein called dystrophin is missing. Without it, his muscle cells break down faster than his body can repair them. As he grows, simple things become harder, such as running, climbing stairs, getting up from the floor. As the disease progresses, the muscles that help him lift his arms, breathe deeply, and keep his heart strong also weaken. Duchenne is relentlessly progressive, and right now, it is still fatal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So every day this December, I’ll be running, 10k for Oscar. Thirty one days, 310 kilometres, and one big goal, to raise awareness and money to support the Hassay family with everything they are going to face.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please support me if you can by donating, sharing, and following along. Every step counts, and every pound raised helps Oscar’s family and the vital research that could help change his future.

<div>DELIVEROO DRIVER CAIO Benicio was on his motorbike when he saw a man with a knife attacking a young girl on Parnell Square East.
</div>
<div>Caio got off his bike, took off his helmet, and hit the attacker with it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The man's a hero and the least we can do is buy him a pint so I'm asking you to <strong>donate the price of a pint of Guinness</strong> in your local to Caio so that he knows the people of Dublin appreciate him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>EDIT:</strong> for all those asking, Aoife from gofundme has managed to get in touch with Caio and she's adding him as a beneficiary of this campaign so all of the money will be transferred directly to him. Thanks very much to everyone who has donated
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>EDIT:</strong> PLEASE stop emailing me!! I'm getting so many emails asking me if this is legitimate and I can't keep up. Yes it's legitimate. I was on Joe Duffy earlier with Caio so he's aware of the campaign. Please contact Aoife from gofundme at <a href="https://gofundme.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">[email redacted]</a> if you have any other questions. Thanks

<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hi everyone,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Firstly, I'd like to introduce myself: My name is Laura McKeen, and I am proud to say I am a close and dear friend to both Laura and Paul Anderson, for whom I am setting up this GoFundMe page.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As many of you will know, Laura was diagnosed with a rare and incurable stage 4 neuroendocrine tumour in the pancreas with metastasis in her peritoneum back in July 2020. Initially, Laura commenced chemotherapy treatment in Edinburgh. Unfortunately, Laura's bone marrow did not tolerate it well, and she only managed 7 out of the 12 sessions, leaving her in a very vulnerable situation with little to no treatment options available in the UK.
</div>
<div>It was in July 2021, Laura sought alternative treatment at the Hope4Cancer Clinic in Cancun, Mexico, where she started immunotherapy and specific protocols with the hope of stabilising the disease and preventing further progression. Through the ongoing support and generous donations, Laura was able to purchase the necessary equipment to continue her protocol at home in Edinburgh and until recently, it had proven to be effective in stabilising the main neuroendocrine tumour.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In July 2022, Laura commenced PRRT (peptide receptor radionuclide therapy) in Glasgow under the care of her NET specialist team. This is targeted radiotherapy to treat the extensive peritoneal disease as well as, the spread to her lymphatic system and liver. Laura completed the PRRT, but once again had adverse effects on her platelet count and her overall quality of life due to the side effects of the treatment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This brings us to the present situation and the challenges that Laura and Paul now face.
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, after a recent emergency CT scan in December, it has shown extensive growth to the liver lesions, which until now were stable. This is a huge cause for concern for both Laura and her oncology team.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Time is now of the essence to try and do everything we can to get Laura the treatment she so desperately needs and deserves. At present, we are looking into further immunotherapy treatment in Mexico and Germany. One of which is the Williams Cancer Institute in Mexico, which has ongoing studies and treatment options available, including intra-tumoral immunotherapy for Laura, but with a starting cost of £140,000. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Throughout her initial diagnosis and new way of life as it were, Laura has continued to show strength and courage. She is a true fighter, which is why we need to get behind our girl and do everything we can. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My hope for Laura with your help and generosity is to give her every chance at fighting this aggressive cancer and give her and her family hope for the future
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you everyone for your ongoing support for Laura. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Laura xx

Help Laura Heal her NET cancer

We are raising funds for the treatment and care of Olivia, our beautiful baby girl. Little Livie has been diagnosed with a rare and serious genetic neuromuscular condition called spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) type 1.  SMA is caused by a gene deletion which results in deterioration of Livie’s nerve cells connecting her brain and spinal cord to her body’s muscles. There is no cure and Livie has its most severe type. Livie’s muscles used for activities such as crawling, walking, sitting up, moving her head, and even swallowing and breathing, are becoming progressively weaker and shrinking. Without any treatment, little Livie’s condition would continue to deteriorate and it would be unlikely that she would live past her 2nd birthday. Every child with SMA is different and little Livie’s future is very uncertain. <br /><br />Treatment options for little Livie are very limited.  Our best hope for a better life for Livie is a once-off gene therapy called Zolgensma, which is currently only available in USA. It costs approximately US$2,100,000. Studies have shown that Zolgensma can substantially improve quality of life. Livie's antibody test qualifies her for the treatment. We are against the clock as Zolgensma is only available to children under the age of two years. <br /><br /><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Little Livie’s Story</strong></span><br /><br />Little Livie was born on the 26th August 2019. We have never felt a love like this. It was incredible for us to see our first child smile, laugh and babble for the first time and watch her develop her little bright, affectionate and loving personality. Livie brings such joy and happiness to our lives every day and her smile can brighten the whole room even on the rainiest Irish day.<br /><br />We grew concerned as Livie missed some of her development milestones. We contacted her GP and were eventually referred to Crumlin Children’s Hospital. Our world changed forever on 9th April when little Livie was diagnosed with SMA type 1. This condition affects approximately one in every 10,000 babies. It had already been such a hard time for our family with the COVID-19 lockdown. Due to hospital policy on social distancing, Karen (Livie’s mum) was alone when given the diagnosis and Keith (Livie’s dad) was alone when he heard the diagnosis over the phone. It is something that will stay with us and our family for the rest of our lives. We were left devastated and one of the hardest parts of this process is being isolated without support from our family and friends during this difficult time.<br /><br />SMA does not affect Livie’s cognitive ability. She remains a bright, alert and bubbly little girl, curious about everything she sees and desperate to experience life. Livie’s smile and laugh are infectious. She loves engaging with people and wants to be in the thick of every conversation around her. Normal infections and illnesses such as a chest infection can be very serious for Livie, possibly life-threatening. The current COVID-19 pandemic is so worryingly dangerous for Livie. Karen will be Livie’s full time carer as Livie needs support all day and every day. Her days and weeks are busy with medical appointments and check-ups.<br /><br />Livie has received her first dose of another treatment called Spinraza through a lumbar puncture in Ireland. We remain hopeful that Spinraza will prolong Livie’s life and allow Livie to gain a degree of head control and sit with extra support. We have been advised that Livie will still need respiratory and feeding intervention to survive. She is already struggling with her breathing and coughing. She needs to wear an oxygen mask every night. This is very uncomfortable for Livie and she struggles to sleep with it. It is very unlikely that Livie will ever stand or walk.<br /><br />We are fundraising for Zolgensma because we could never afford to pay for this treatment by ourselves. Our dream for Livie is to give her the best chance at life possible. Zolgensma is our best hope to do this. If we are unable to raise enough funds to pay for little Livie’s treatment, we will put all donations towards Livie’s care with the hope of giving her the most comfortable and happy life possible.
