Joe’s story
After being diagnosed with primary mediastinum large B cell lymphoma a year ago, Joe Ellis has already been through radiotherapy and chemothearapy, but there’s still no sign of remission.
Southampton Hospital have agreed to fund the first three of a pioneering cancer treatment from the US. Joe’s family need to find £100,000 for the remaining 13 treatments, just in case their funding application to the UK panel isn’t successful.
The fundraising is primarily for Joe’s treatment, but if the family’s funding application is successful or the Trust raises more than is needed, it’ll be donated to other Island children who are in the same situation.
