At just over 3,500ft (1,085m), it is not a particularly high mountain compared to others, but this is not just a simple walking challenge. On May 13th 2023, I will be climbing Mt Snowdon, the highest mountain in my home country, Wales.
Without these charities Wyatt’s and his family’s lives would have been so much harder. He is responding to treatment but there is still such a long way to go in his recovery.
Things are getting better for Wyatt now, slowly. To help the family with the turmoil and having to stay away whilst Wyatt was receiving treatment which was weeks at a time, the Ronald McDonald House charity provided free accommodation and internet access so that Sam and Rhiannon could stay close to Wyatt and still find time to work. Wyatt needed help to understand what was happening to him, so Sam turned to the Give a Duck foundation that provides huggable ducks with ports and tubes that mirror what was going to happen to Wyatt in the course of his treatment as well as specialists to help explain this in a non-scary way that children can understand. His parents, having to care for their 4 other children, continue to work where they can and travel to hospitals 30-40 miles away so that Wyatt could receive the treatment he needs are exhausted. Over the past 6 months, Wyatt has been battling with infections alongside receiving chemotherapy treatment to combat this disease. The test revealed that Wyatt had Leukaemia. The GP thought it was sepsis and rushed a blood test.
He is also Mark’s best friend’s son.Ģ weeks after Commsverse 2022, Sam and Rhiannon (Wyatt’s parents) noticed bruising around his neck combined with high temperature that they couldn’t control. This is Wyatt, he is 4 years old and suffers from Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia.
