Betty's story

Betty is three. She has stage four neuroblastoma and she has relapsed twice. On 9 July her doctors sat us down and told us the NHS has nothing curative left to offer. What they can do is keep her stable. We heard the word terminal in the same sentence as our daughter's name.

There is a hospital in Barcelona that treats her exact type of cancer with a specialist programme not available here. They have reviewed her scans and they will take her as soon as we can pay. The full cost is £520,000. We do not have it. Not close.

So we are asking for £2. If 260,000 people each give £2, Betty gets on that plane. £2 is less than a coffee. Most people can do it once and never notice it again.

If you can give more, it goes further. If you cannot give at all, please share this page and tag five people. Shares have already carried Betty further than money some days.

I will post updates here as we go, good or bad. Thank you for reading all the way down. Love, Alicia (Betty's mum) and family 🎗️

Updates3

Barcelona have said yes

The hospital confirmed they can start Betty's treatment as soon as we can pay the first instalment. Everything given or shared now goes towards getting her on that plane. Thank you to everyone who has got us this far.

The scan results we were dreading

Betty has relapsed for the second time. Her team were honest with us: here at home they cannot cure her, only keep her stable. We are not stopping. Neither is she.

Day one

This page is for Betty. If you can give, give. If you can't, share it. On some days the shares have done more than the money.
