HARLEY JAMES STAPLES 17 August 2001 - 1 November 2009

  Our charity The Harley Staples Cancer Trust is in loving memory or our beautiful, inspirational boy Harley. Harley was diagnosed with a rare leukaemia: B cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia Birkitt Type on January 28th 2009. During his illness Harley was incredibly brave, he smiled and laughed every day. We never knew what each day in hospital would bring. There were so many tests, so much treatment and medicine for Harley to have, all to try and make him better. Despite this he faced each day like a brave soldier. Harley made many friends in the hospital and he helped the other children to face each day and their treatment, and they helped him too.

We know that Harley would want us to continue to help his friends who are still battling with their illnesses and any other children who have to live and fight a potentially life threatening illness.

HAPPY HARLEYS HOLIDAY HOMES

are available for children and teenagers to use and enjoy with their families to help create happy memories to cherish and to offer fresh air and respite away from the hospital.

We also extend this to bereaved parents who have lost a child to cancer.

We realise that not everybody is able to take a holiday, therefore we also donate art and craft materials to ward 27 and organise special entertainment days both on and off the ward for these special children.

If your child has not gone into remission and there is no more treatment they can have, we offer fingerprint necklaces for the immediate family to cherish forever.

We understand how difficult it is for families trying to live and cope when a child is diagnosed with a potentially life threatening illness. and we aim to put a smile on your childs face whilst battling this horrendous disease.
