6 months of treatment to go. When James was first diagnosed with Leukaemia in 2011 I was full of angst and dread
and wondered how I was going to get through this. James has surprised us
all with his resiliency and courage. He has overcome so many barriers and
is living life to the full. He is starting College in a few weeks and
will begin the next chapter in his life.
Here are some of the events of the past year:
- In May my good friend
Nic Johns climbed the sky tower in full fire fighting kit to raise money for
the leukaemia foundation and dedicated her climb to James. James visited Nic at
the Wainuiomata fire station to find out what it's like to be a firefighter
(photos attached).
- In July we travelled to
Scotland to visit family. James met his Great Uncles and Aunties and
travelled around Scotland visiting the sites. He remained healthy on the
journey and had a great time getting to know his extended family (photo

- James said goodbye to
Wainuiomata Intermediate in December. He received a school award and
attended his first school dance (photos attached).
The fight against cancer is ever present in our
daily life and although James will finish his treatment this year it will
always be in the back of our minds that it can return. I am thankful
for the awesome doctors and nurses and for the continued support of
family, friends,work colleagues and the child cancer foundation.
God Bless
