Our Little Fighters are OUR HEROES because you have never met anyone stronger than a child that is fighting the fight of their life before they have even begun living it… Never before have you met a superhero like these kids ~ no matter what they are going through, they still manage to smile and be kids (in between the pain and vomiting) and just have such courage and fortitude that we could all take a lesson from them!
The Little Fighters Cancer Trust pays homage to all our little heroes, past, present and future… below you will find some of their stories… not all of them are sad, and not all of them end happily, but all of them are stories that need to be told…
Addelé Jonker
Addelé was born on September 3rd, 2010. In general, she is a healthy baby who rarely even got a cold. She met all her milestones, except for walking, as she is only now starting to walk. Each visit to the pediatrician, which we kept as per the book, ended with the pediatrician being very satisfied with her progress and development. We never had any reason to be concerned. READ MORE
Alexia van der Venter
Alexia was born on the 6th of Aug 2009. My sister’s 2nd daughter. Our lives changed drastically on the 23rd of March 2011. This was the day she was diagnosed with a very high-risk T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. Our beautiful baby girl Alexia was sick! CANCER!!! The scariest word we have ever heard. READ MORE
Caiden Myburgh
Little Caiden Myburgh was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma (a malignant tumour that developed on his right kidney) at birth. When he was born he didn’t drink/feed properly and everything that went in came out again. We did a scan to see what was wrong and they found a tumour on his right kidney. At first, the doctors assumed it was just a tumour/growth that can be removed surgically. He went for his first op when he was 10 days old in Alberton, Netcare Clinton Hospital. READ MORE
There are many more stories of these brave young heroes who handle the adversity, discomfort, pain, and everything else that goes with a diagnosis of Childhood Cancer, and we will post more stories as we go…
