The Lewis Mighty Fund

Hello and thank you for visiting The lewis mighty Fund.The lewis Mighty fund was created in June 2009 as a treatment fund for Lewis mighty.

In October 2008 Lewis mighty was diagnosed with stage 4 High Risk Neuroblastoma; he was 3 years old. Neuroblastoma is, after Brain Tumours, the most common form of childhood cancer, which targets mainly under 5's. Neuroblastoma doesn't ususally show many symptoms until the disease is widespread (stage 4) which makes it very difficult to diagnose and very difficult to treat. Many children just appear "off colour" or "not themselves" and other symptoms can be vague.

Currently the prognosis for Stage 4 Neuroblastoma in the UK is around 20%. Although many children do initially respond very well to front line treatment the disease has a nasty high rate of relapse. Once a child in the UK has relapsed sadly there is no treatment protocol available. This information has led us to research every treatment available worldwide for the treatment of Neuroblastoma. Along with medical advice we have looked into treatment in Europe or further afield.

Lewis has never reached remission dispite undergoing extensive chemotherapy, major surgery, a stem cell transplant and two doses of extremely high internal radiation. Options in the UK are limited. Sadly treatment in other parts of the world come with hefty price tags.

Lewis is now a happy 6 year old and attends full time school. He is very bright and sociable and is also captain of his local under 7's football club. He has an older sister Leah and an older brother Morgan and enjoys doing normal things like playing his Xbox 360 and playing with friends.

If you can help or contribute to Lewis's treatment fund however big or small please please get in touch..
