Jessica aged ten was diagnosed with Ganglioneurpblastoma in 2005, which is a rare form of childhood cancer. On a routine check-up the doctors found a shadow on her chest, which was discovered to be 15cm tumour wrapped around her spine. She developed severe scoliosis when a part of the tumour was removed as it had been supporting her spine. Jessica is unable to have spinal surgery due to complications with her tumour, so it is imperative that she has ongoing specialist physiotherapy and back braces to hold off the curve as much as possible.
Below is a photo of Jess with her new brace, and we are pleased to announce that we have been able to raise the funds for Jess to continue her therapy and we would like to thank Hallmark Healthcare for making this possible.
