clarkey1972 0 Posted October 30, 2015 Hi all,Hope this is allowed.I''ve been a member on here for a long time under one name or another and wanted to ask for a little help from fellow City fans.My son, Iwan (named after Iwan Roberts) was diagnosed with Leukaemia in 2009 aged 10 and for the last six years he''s had a really rough time trying to beat this disease. Unfortunately we have now run out of options available to us in the UK with the NHS.The only option open to us at the moment is to take Iwan to america to take part in a new treatment that offers real hope of a full cure for him. We need to raise around £200,000 in order to do this. We are trying to reach out to as many people as possible to help get our little fighter the money we need to give him a chance.We have been fundraising now for around 10 weeks and have raised over £35k but we are still a long way off our total, if anyone can help us please do so on the links below (hopefully they work)Best regardsRichard (Iwan''s dad)http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fundraiser/displaySomeoneSpecialPage.action?pageUrl=iwanclarke##pageDonorsRefhttps://www.facebook.com/fundraisingforiwan/?fref=ts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,219 Posted October 30, 2015 I wonder if it might be worth contacting the club, and possibly the Darren Huckerby trust which is based around a teenage cancer fund http://www.darrenhuckerbytrust.com/s18/Our-Projects.htmlDon''t know a huge amount about it but if you don''t ask you never know!

ca 1 Posted October 30, 2015 Clarkey - I hope that you raise loads of money to get your young son Iwan treated so that he gets better. Its definitely worth getting in touch with the club, I''m sure they will help you in some way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clarkey1972 0 Posted October 30, 2015 Thanks to everyone who has donated to our cause, cant thank people enough We have contacted the club, who said all they could do was send us a signed shirt. Though that was six weeks or so ago and we are still waiting.Thanks again allRich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
