StemCell Therapy

A FLINTSHIRE superhero is raising hundreds of pounds for a cause close to her heart in a bid to 'turn a negative into something positive'.

In 2019, Lauren Claire Pringle was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and began a course of gruelling treatment.

However, since finding out it has not gone completely, Lauren must have more chemotherapy and eventually a stem cell transplant.

Daughter Lily Pringle-Purcell decided to play her part and raise funds for a charity that has helped their family, and others going through similar.

The seven-year-old set out a target to raise 1,000 for Lymphoma Action and after shaving her mother's hair off and completing a five-mile walk, she has since raised over 800 of her target.

But the fundraising will not stop there.

Mum Lauren told the Leader: "She's done really well, I'm so proud of her.

"She's a fabulous little girl, really caring and always thinking about other people."

Anyone wishing to donate can do so online at https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/laurenandlily.

The fundraising page reads: "My daughter has been raising money for Lymphoma Action. She has raised 720 so far on her Just Giving page. She shaved my head to raise money and also we did sponsored walk today of 5 miles to raise more money. She wanted to do this after my diagnosis last year of lymphoma and ongoing treatment.

"My name is Lily and I am 7 and in September 2019 my mum Lauren was diagnosed with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma. She had to have 6 cycles of chemotherapy and 12 sessions of radiotherapy. Recently we found out it hasnt all gone and she needs to have more chemotherapy and eventually a stem cell transplant. This has been really hard on us as a family and we want to try and turn a negative situation into something positive and raise as much money and awareness as we can to hopefully find better treatments and help other families going through the same thing.

"I want to do a sponsored walk and a sponsored bike ride and I am thinking of other things I can do to try and raise as much money as I can.

"If anyone has any ideas then please let me know! Thankyou all so much! Lots of Love Lily and Lauren."
