Mitchell Huth - An Angel Gone Too Soon

28/9/2012

 
Picture
Mitchell Huth lost his two year battle with Neuroblastoma Stage 4 on Saturday 25th August 2012 at only seven years old.

Just before he was diagnosed Mitchell's parents bought a property in need of complete refurbishment. Shortly after, when Mitchell was diagnosed and sadly, due to the high risk of infection which could be life threatening to Mitchell, he was not able to go home. With Mitchell needing full time care and long hospital stays, their income was dramatically reduced so mum and dad couldn't afford the refurbishments needed. With funds raised by our supporters we refurbished the house so that Mitchell was able to live safely at home with his family.

Picture
Mitchell fought hard against the disease and with the help of Lennox and many other organisations, he travelled to Mexico undergo a new pioneering treatment to increase his chances of beating the disease by up to 60%. Mitchell was one of only six children to receive this treatment, which is still unavailable in the UK. He showed a very positive response but sadly this wasn't enough.

We continued to support Mitchell's family after he passed away by providing financial assistance and funding for a headstone.
