Mum's Joy as Son's £339k Cancer Treatment Fund Surpassed
1 Nov
Summary
- Fundraising target of £339,000 was surpassed for Zach's cancer treatment.
- An anonymous donation of £100,000 significantly boosted the appeal.
- Zach will receive CAR T-cell therapy in Rome, Italy.
A mother's desperate fundraising campaign has reached its £339,000 target, securing life-saving treatment for her four-year-old son, Zach Prempeh. Zach has been battling high-risk neuroblastoma, which relapsed after extensive previous treatments. The family aims to fund CAR T-cell therapy in Rome, Italy, as this treatment is not available through the NHS.
The initial appeal had raised less than half of the required funds, but a significant anonymous donation of £100,000 propelled the total over £378,000. This incredible generosity has brought immense relief and joy to Zach's mother, Edwina Fleming.
Discussions are now underway with medical teams to determine when Zach will be fit to commence treatment. The family, including Zach's older brother Alex-Junior, are hopeful this therapy will help put Zach into remission. The Arsenal fan recently had a special day at the club, with the team also supporting his fundraising efforts.
