Lennon Woods Appeal

£1,012

You have done It!

The target of £1,000 has been reached with nearly one week to go we are really proud of everyone’s effort. Lennon and his family will be so proud of you all.

Lennon’s first day at School after all his treatment

Lennon has just gone through Chemotherapy to prepare him for his stem cell replacement (Bone marrow).

The little lad is only 4 and has been through so much in his short life. Grimsby Whites have started an appeal to raise money for Lennon to be able to be a mascot at Leeds United when he is well enough. We would also like to buy him a kit and treat him to a few things on the day.

If you would like to donate? Please press the donate button below or contact any of the committee by clicking here or by Emailing our branch secretary Roger Dixon cleewhites@live.com

On behalf of the committee of Grimsby Whites get well soon Lennon and we hope you have a speedy recovery and see you at Elland Road in the very near future.

22nd November

Lennon has been in Sheffield hospital for the last two weeks and is very poorly. He has many ailments and viruses and his blood count is not going the right way.

Lennon will have to come off some of his medication so he can try and build up some resistance to the viruses and he now has to take some steroids.

Lennon has really dehydrated and is on a drip to try and get some fluids in his body.

A further update will be posted shortly.

14th October

Lennon woke up this morning feeling very tried and sleepy. Not in a very good mood! He went to Sheffield children's hospital today for one of his check up's with dr.Vora.

Lennon had his bloods taken today and all his other observations done. Well the reason Lennon is feeling listless is the medication Lennon is on. It is getting cut down and it is the large amount of steroid's Lennon as been on, and all what Lennons little body as been through it is to be expected, this is how he is coping with it!

Well we have had some good news today Lennon's bone-marrow grafting results came back, and it is working well over 95% , and that is what the Dr wanted so up to press thing's are looking good. He go’s back in December to see if it is still grafting. but like we keep being told we still can only take one day at a time, so you can imagine we are so pleased! He goes weekly for his bloods to be taken and his normal check up with Dr.Vora and he still cannot mix with large amounts of people. He is slightly anemic.

Lennon will be at hospital again on Tuesday next week so I will keep you all up dated. Thank you all again for all your kind messages and donation's from Lennon's granma and grandad
