Families Against Neuroblastoma ...
Hello and Welcome from FAN Kelli Smith
The Kelli Smith Appeal
The doctors felt a "mass" in her abdomen straight away, and after several scans and various tests it was confirmed that Kelli had Neuroblastoma. They staged her at 4s initially, telling me that the cancer would most likely go away on it's own- they planned to watch and wait for up to 6 weeks. Just one week later another scan confirmed the cancer was growing too fast and Kelli's treatment began.
After several rounds of gruelling chemotherapy, Kelli was still left with Neuroblastoma in her liver but she was well enough to start nursery! Her confidence soon grew with people and her little personality started to blossom! Kelli loves to sing and dance and has a great love of music. The Cancer couldn't hold back her determination to get on with life and Kelli soon learned to count to 7 and say lots of other words, in French! So advanced was her thirst for learning she was bumped up to pre-school a year early! Then, a year on from finishing frontline treatment, we received the news that the Cancer had gone, Kelli was given the all clear, we were over the moon!
Sadly however, our happiness was to be short lived. Kelli started to become symptomatic and we have recently found out that she has 3 new lesions in her abdomen.
There is no treatment protocol in the UK for relapsed Neuroblastoma, however there are options available abroad. Sadly these treatments could cost in excess of £500,000. We know this is a huge price tag, but we have seen other children in Kelli's situation reach their target and go on to receive the life saving treatment they needed, and it has worked! Kelli is still smiling and just wants to go back to school, your help could make that happen. Please, please help us give Kelli, our precious, beautiful, clever, funny, happy little girl the chance to live. You can also donate directly into Kelli's Natwest bank account.

About Families Against Neuroblastoma (FAN)
FAN needs your support in many ways. Donations made to FAN will primarily be used to directly support our families. It will help provide the children with days out, wish experiences, and other things that are all intended to boost moral and put a smile on everyone's face. We firmly believe this can help make a positive impact on the success of the child's treatment. Unfortunately, not all our children will survive, and therefor it is vitally important that we can help pack as much fun into their short lives as we possible can, and leave the family with precious memories to cherish after they have gone.
A donation to a child's individual appeal will be held for the sole use of that child for treatment or for quality of life. These appeals often have a very high target due to the enormity of the medical expenses, and are therefor dependant on the generosity of donations from the general public. This really can mean the difference between life and death. Should the child no longer need the money raised in their name, funds will either become available to other children within the charity, moved to our emergency fund, donated to Neuroblastoma research, donated to our general fund, or a combination of all four, as agreed with the family.
