AS a father of a child who has had leukaemia, I have experienced that sense of devastation, bewilderment and fear parents feel when they find out their child has cancer or leukaemia.
Thankfully cancer and leukaemia in children is rare. But because it is so rare, it increases the sense of isolation.
If you are planning your work Christmas party, why not get your boss to raffle a day's holiday for you and your work colleagues, while raising money to help children with cancer and leukaemia.
