In the summer of 2024 while on her first family holiday in Spain, Hallie was diagnosed with JMML, a rare type of leukaemia, at just 8 months old. Hallie was subsequently flown home and began treatment in Birmingham Children’s Hospital (BCH) where she has bravely taken on endless chemo, 2 gruelling stem cell transplants and countless blood transfusions and still always has a smile on her face. Sadly, the latest transplant has not worked and after global discussions, the team at BCH have said the only way left to save Hallie’s life involves a CAR T-cell therapy trial which will hopefully be starting in Great Ormond Street Hospital very soon, and if not then in America. This is going to cost in excess of £1 million. This is because a third transplant can’t be funded by the NHS & this therapy needs one. Members of The RME team will be completing 'The 3 Peaks challange' on 22nd/23rd, aiming to complete Ben Nevis, Snowdon and Scafell Pike. Our aim is to complete all 3 in under 24hrs. Any donations are welcome and on completion will be transfered to 'Rally for Hallie' original fundraiser page.
