Rosie Veronica is fighting a life threatening cancer Chatty, cheeky princess Rosie Veronica was diagnosed with high- risk neuroblastoma when she was only 15 months old. After intensive treatment she beat the disease for two and a half years. But since then, this aggressive and complex cancer has twice returned. Rosie Veronica’s family are fundraising with Solving Kids’ Cancer just in case they need to access further treatment or clinical trials not available through the NHS. This could cost hundreds of thousands of pounds. You can give Rosie Veronica hope To make a donation: www.solvingkidscancer.org.uk/rosiemitchell Text ‘ROSM77’ and your amount £1-10 to 70070 Call 020 7284 0800 or email [email protected] for fundraising support or additional information. Funds raised will go towards helping Rosie Veronica and her family or to support other children and families affected by neuroblastoma. For children with high-risk neuroblastoma, like Rosie Veronica, the survival rate is much lower than other childhood cancers. Upon relapse, this rate reduces even further. 60% of children with cancer access clinical trials because standard treatment options are limited; potentially curative or life prolonging clinical trial options exist at home and abroad. Solving Kids’ Cancer Europe is a registered charity in England and Wales (1135601), and in Scotland (SCO45094). www.footballfocusmag.com 5
