Ted is four years old and just entering the maintenance phase of his treatment for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia.

Earlier this year Ted almost lost his life to an aggressive Aspergillus infection which often isn't survived. The medication for this doesn't react well with the chemotherapy either and causes a high risk of muscle and ligament damage. Ted bravely fought through but as a result, he was registered as disabled and over the last five months has learned to crawl, cruise and waddle again.

Ted’s physiotherapist recommended that he rides a bike to get his feet flexing correctly again. The trouble was, most children’s bikes weigh almost as much as Ted does and his muscles are simply not strong enough to ride them. After a little research, Ted’s mum found the ‘Isla Bike’, a specially designed, lightweight bike for children like Ted. Because of Ted’s condition, mum and dad both now work part time and simply couldn't afford to purchase this bike for Ted, so mum sent a heartfelt letter to Vicky Nash here at Lennox and we gladly purchased Ted his new bike. Now there’s no stopping him, literally!

Alec was nine years old and had a tumour on his brain stem (pontine). His treatment regime finished at the end of November 2010 and all was looking well until in February 2011, Alec was admitted to hospital. Two days later he was moved to Helen House Children’s Hospice where he was made comfortable, and on Tuesday 8th March 2011 he passed away.

Before Alec went into hospital, we put a big smile on his face when Lisa Sherrin and some of our fundraising team visited Alec at home for the official opening of what he called ‘Alec’s Pad’. It was a wonderful day and Alec and all his family and friends were so grateful.

We also funded a Halloween party for Alec and all his friends and family, and supported his parents both emotionally and financially during Alec's journey.

Thank you to everyone who helped us to fundraise and make Alec's dreams to come true.
