This week I read about a brave little girl in Wigan called Emma Hoolin, age 4, who has an aggressive childhood cancer called neuroblastoma. Emma, who is a cousin of a child in our school, has been so brave this year in her fight against cancer enduring operations and chemotherapy. There is a treatment to stop Emma’s cancer from coming back but it is only available in America.

Emma needs to raise £210,000 to have this treatment! If you want to help Emma meet her target please sponsor me to run the Liverpool Marathon and together we can help Emma get better really soon.

If you want to read more of Emma’s story please visit her websites- www.justgiving.com/hope4emma and www.emmahoolin.co.uk  where you can also donate.

Whether you decide to donate directly to Emma’s website or sponsor me you will be making a huge difference to a brave little girl from Wigan.

Thank you,

Mike Hoban.
