Hallie-Mae, a four-year-old girl from Shropshire, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) in November. A fundraising appeal set up by her aunt has raised over £10,000 to help cover the costs of her six-month treatment at Birmingham Children's Hospital.
Hallie-Mae, from Bayston Hill in Shropshire, was diagnosed with the cancer of the blood and bone marrow at the end of November.
She is due to undergo six months of treatment at Birmingham Children's Hospital, including chemotherapy and an expected stem cell transplant.Hayley Formstone, Hallie-Mae's aunt, set up the appeal and said every donation would make "a huge contribution to lessening the burden the family are now facing".She said any money left over would go to charities which have supported Hallie-Mae.
Her mother, Sophie, said: "Hallie-Mae's diagnosis has hit us all like a sledgehammer, it came completely out of the blue and we have been catapulted into unknown territory and a great deal of uncertainty." But she said the determination shown by her daughter was "unbelievable" and she described her as a "real warrior".A charity football match, organised by Gareth Parry, former manager of Bayston Hill FC, will be staged on Saturday in Bayston Hill to raise further funds.Hundreds of chemo care bags donated to hospital
