can i just share...

[redcrx]

...this with you.

Its my young nephew's webpage, he also has a blog. He is fighting leukemia at the moment and even though he has had many difficult times, including an emergency appendectomy he still retains a great sense of fun.

He asked his mum to help him set up a website and i have just been given the link.

All the very best to him and his family. I have a 2 year old and the thought of anything like this affecting her terrifies me. He seems a real character!

Awww bless him! x

[anneasquith]

oh what a wee fighter, and very handsome............... ill keep a lookout for his news.

[redcrx]

oh he is, T&S.
the poor lad had enough to deal with in his life already as hes has Tourettes (the tick type, not the swearing you see portrayed on TV)
strange thing is, his tourettes has settled right down with all the drugs he is taking for the Luekemia.
Would just also like to point out that he has gained a lot of weight due to the steroids that he has to take, his appetitie has ballooned and his is constantly eating, which is a side effect.

red he's lovely God Bless Him, I am happy to donate something to the lads plight via paypal ..
his mum and all the family must be so proud of this little fighter

[redcrx]

bobbi
please dont take this as a plea for money. i certainly havnt put it up to get any of you to donate, you dont even know the lad.
i just wanted to share the details of his sense of fun and his determiation to beat this horrible illness.

of course, if it did move anyone to want to donate then a couple of quid to a registered charity with Deryn in your thoughts would be nice.

What a great sense of humour he has crx... occupation - Super Hero (lol)

He's a smasher x

[Barmaid]

Crikey Red, what a little fighter. I wish him all the best.

Kind of puts issues into perspective though.

[Bobbisox]

that never crossed my mind at all red but being in a horrible position 6 yrs ago, I am very happy to do this,

[ttfn]

redcrx - what a super lad. He humbles me and should shame many of us. I do so wish him the best possible outcome from his treatment. I am with bobbi on this one - my donation is on its way (and I know you didn't post for that purpose) For Deryn - ♥♥♥

[redcrx]

[LoftyLottie]

Bless his heart. Unfortunately, I can't see any pics at the moment, am waiting for my son to deliver a new computer and am struggling with this one. I wish him very well - brave young man.

[Dris]

What a smashing wee fella and I echo ttfn -its very humbling.Its also heartwarming to see a family pull together in the face of such adversity and retain a sense of humour in what must be any parents worse nightmare.Please keep us posted on his journey to full health -he has really touched me xx

[sara3]
