"My 9-year old cousin, George Yeomans suffers from a rare form of childhood cancer (Neuroblastoma). He was diagnosed at 7 and has been through intensive chemo, radiotherapy and major surgery over the past 2 years. He was given the all clear at Christmas 2006 to our joy, but within a few months the cancer had returned and there is no cure for re-current Neuroblastoma within the UK. George's parents only hope is to pay for him to have pioneering treatment at the Memorial Sloane Kettering Hospital in New York. The initial deposit for this treatment is £200,000. Time is not on our side and so we need to raise this money as quickly as possible. The 2Simple Trust, a registered UK charity (no 1113954) are supporting the appeal. We’ve set up a website for George (HERE) where you can find details of how to donate, read George’s story and find out how he is currently getting on, along with details of planned fund raising events.
   His plight has been advertised in the local Hertfordshire papers. George and his parents were also interviewed for BBC London.
   We are still a long way off reaching our target. Many of George’s family are London Taxi drivers (as is my boyfriend, Alan Hall J23 on DaC), so we are appealing for London Taxi drivers to help us raise these initial funds. If anyone can help via donations, fundraising events, prizes for our auctions or raffles or celebrity contacts, then please contact me, Louise Burrows, at samsredhouse@aol.com or on 07984 326950. Or speak to the Trust that are supporting this appeal on 0208 732 3372 - you can also make an online donation by calling the Trust.
