A GROUP of teenagers are working together to help the family of a five-year-old who was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Avaya Powell has been diagnosed with neuroblastoma – cancer that affects around 100 children each year. After taking part in a clinical trial and having chemotherapy, the family is now looking for other treatments to tackle it – but must raise a quarter of a million pounds. Kingsdown students Tia Surridge, Macie and Mia Pike, and Talia Hayward met Avaya at Charlotte Johnson’s School of Dance have put on Easter Egg hunts and raffles to raise funds. The four friends are brainstorming other ideas to get Avaya’s family closer to their £250,000 target.

For many, the return of shielding for the clinically extremely vulnerable at the start of this year was a tough pill to swallow. At this point it feels never-ending. But to families like mine, it’s been part of our daily existence since before the pandemic even began.

Amelie has acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). It’s rare. Around 790 people are diagnosed with it each year in the UK – most are children and young people.

The cruel twist is that Amelie’s treatment for her cancer – regular chemotherapy – does the same.
