Graydon, a 2 year old diagnosed in Feb 2014 with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, and his family are raising funds to support the family and,

Money is tight at the best of times, but when a family is battling cancer, funds can disappear so quickly! Daily life becomes a struggle, and forget saving up the 10+k for a flight to see family in America. Graydon's parents don't regret becoming Kiwi's, but they dearly miss their families, who cannot fly to us due to health issues.

Graydon's mum here! Things haven't gone smoothly, lots of delays. But we're two weeks into the last phase before maintanence, which will finish some time in January if all goes to plan. This phase isn't as easy as we expected, poor baby has been throwing up a lot more than the last 'nastier' lot, but at least the chemo is only two days in every 10 day chunks. We are also struggling with the nasal gastric tube, Graydon has become allergic to just about every tape now. Since he was in hospital with a staph infection for two weeks because an allergic reaction got infected, we have been constantly getting the tape and tube moved about... Needless to say he hates both with a passion. Unfortunately, we tried tube free and he ended up losing nearly a kilo in four days, so tube free won't work!
Despite all of this, my darling boy and his amazing big sister are taking all of this with incredible fortitude! Graydon is the doll of all the nurses because of his constant smiles and loving cuddles, forgetting and forgiving pokes prods and taping!
Both of the kids birthdays are coming up in January, he turns 3 and she turns 11, and with Xmas coming just before we are doing our best to plan financially. We are putting your donations to good use, thank you everyone!
