    Thank you for all of your support.

    We could not have done it without you and we are so utterly grateful for your generosity: financially, emotionally, and spiritually!

    As the Givealittle page is about to close, we will activate and be active on the Facebook page that we haven’t focused on - the link is below.

    https://www.facebook.com/groups/467413533840842

    If you would like to keep following William’s journey please join us. We will be mostly posting pics and the occasional blurb letting you know how he is going.

    We are about to hit the 8 month post infusion and are so pleased to have made it past the 6 month marker and have all hopes that we hit 12 months safely.

    You have contributed so selflessly and kindly, and then we face an unusual worldwide health situation. Your strength and courage is admired and appreciated.

    Stay Safe, Stay Kind, Stay Helpful.

    Marcus, Becky, Cheeky Charlie and of course the Mighty Will.

  • Mighty Will's Melbourne Treatment :)

      19 December 2019

    Hi friends :)

    This little video is straight after Will's T Cell treatment. This moment is the culmination of many years of research and dedication from the medical profession as well as an astronomical financial commitment. But, still at it's heart is a hopeful family surrounded by professionals who care deeply about what they do. A very special moment.

    Thank you so much for your support and being part of this journey.

      Dear Becky,

      I’m keeping tabs on how all of you are progressing especially William, he truly is a wee trooper! I know as a parent we would do absolutely anything to keep our children safe and healthy, it goes without saying, but I have to say, you and Marcus are amazing, you humble me in this pursuit of finding a solution to Williams situation. My thoughts and support of you all is a daily thing. Love to you all, Pip Jones xxxx

      Hi Marcus and family,

      So pleased to hear this news as i was just updated at work yesterday about the USA trip. Have been thinking of you all.

      Jade, Chris and the boys x

      Thank-you for the updates and please send our love and light to Will, Charlie, Becks and Marcus! Kia kaha Will!🛩🚁✈️🚲❤️

  • Thank you for your continued support.

      16 October 2019

    Unfortunately William's Leukemia has proven too aggressive to fly to the United States and his trial has fallen through. However after some extremely anxious waiting he has gained a place on a new treatment plan in Australia. We will keep you updated. Again, our deepest gratitude to you all.
