More than £150,000 has been raised
A Calverton mum has raised more than £150,000 for charity in memory of her toddler who sadly died after battling a rare cancer. Jessica and Lee Neal, 35 and 38, lost their 16 month old son Ted in April 2022 to an aggressive form of cancer that was so rare it did not have a name when he was first diagnosed.
Jessica, who is a trainee nurse, said: "For us it was good to have something positive to focus on and it was a distraction at that time. We had raised a significant amount of money for Ted’s treatment, but we knew we could not use it for the treatment anymore. Jessica added: "Ben and Charlie have been absolutely brilliant. They have come to every single fundraising event and Ben does all the IT for the charity.
One family who received a grant were Eloise Pyper, 32, husband Ian, 21, and their children Esti, three, and six-week-old twins Asher and Elodie who were born at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge in February after a routine 20-week scan found Asher had chronic kidney disease. “It meant we could all be together for the first time as a family as until that point none of us had been in the same room together. Our three-year-old Esti hadn’t seen all of us together. It made us be together as a family and I don’t think you can put a price on that.”
"We only went 40 minutes away from home because we couldn’t be too far away from the hospital but the memories we made are really important to us. The other side of it is that when Ted did pass away, we needed to go somewhere away from home and take our children and go for a break.
