BE BRAVE, BE BOLD, BE GOLD!

‘My daughter Maisie was diagnosed with ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukaemia) in September 2018 when she was just 19 months old. She is in maintenance now, hoping to complete treatment in November this year. She has been treated in Leeds LGI and supported by Airedale community nurses too. She has been amazing all throughout the treatment and just taken each day in her stride. She is looking forward to her last year in pre-school before starting at primary school next year.’

– Katie, Mum.
