Charlie's Chance
The family of a 10-year-old boy from Litherland desperately need to raise £100,000 to get him to America for life saving treatment.
10-year-old Charlie Fearns from Litherland has been diagnosed with leukaemia for a third time. He had a bone marrow transplant in 2013 and now his only option left is to have a specialist type of treatment in America.
CAR-T cell therapy is a type of immunotherapy which uses a patient’s own immune system to combat the disease.
To get him over to Seattle for the life-saving treatment, his family need to raise £100,000.
A Go Fund Me Page has been set up by their close friend and fundraising the Cycling Scouser. So far it’s raised almost £40,000 but they need everyone’s support to reach the target.
Charlie’s Dad Robbie told us;
‘This is his last chance, we’ve had out moments, we’ve cried but that doesn’t get us anywhere. We need to get that money in and we need to get him there for treatment.’
