Connor Whipp

Hello, my name is Connor Whipp and am 4 years old. I have a big sister called Ella who is 8 and she is my best friend and a little sister called Lola whos is 16 months old and really naughty! I really, really love Captain America, I like all the Marvel superheroes but he is my favourite one, it used to be Spiderman. I love playing the Wii and my computer games. I collect moshi monsters and go go's and my favourite film is Over the Hedge. Mummy wants me to like Harry Potter but i dont, my daddy likes fishing and I have my own rod and I am going to go night fishing with my daddy, when I'm better.

You see I've been feeling really poorly lately, and the doctors have said I've got Cancer, a really bad type, it's like a monster inside me, but I'm Captain Connor and I'm going to fight the monster and win! My family are are going to help me. They have found out that there is a special type of treatment I can get in America that will help me beat the monster. It costs a lot of money, and I am only 4 so I don't have enough. Will you help me please?

The treatment Connor needs is a type of antibody therapy that is not currently available in the UK. This therapy has shown great results and improves a childs chances of survival by around 25%. The treatment will available to Connor after he has finished his treatment in the UK, which gives us around 9 months to raise the £250,000 needed. We are also aware that many children with high risk Neuroblastoma relapse, and there is currently no UK relapse protocol. The fund that we are building for Connor will be available to us for a relapse protocol abroad should we need it. This could literally be the difference between life or death for Connor, please help us give him this life line.
