来自卡莱尔的 11 岁女孩艾薇·沃尔什 (Ivy Walsh) 在 2024 年被诊断出患有脑肿瘤后,正在领导英国癌症支持组织的全国圣诞节活动。
An 11-year-old girl from Carlisle, Ivy Walsh, is leading a national Christmas campaign for Cancer Support UK after being diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2024.
她接受了外科手术和为期70周的化疗课程,接受了儿童癌症药包,其中包括一只叫Hazel的感官温暖狗,在治疗期间提供了安慰。
She underwent surgery and a 70-week chemotherapy course, receiving a Kids’ Cancer Kit that included a sensory Warmies dog named Hazel, which provided comfort during treatment.
现在,在康复阶段,艾薇正在帮助为2025年填充一箱呼吁募集资金,向面临癌症的儿童,特别是在假期期间,发送类似的舒适包,包括玩具、袜子和可取暖物品。
Now in recovery, Ivy is helping raise funds for the 2025 Fill a Kit appeal to send similar comfort kits—containing toys, socks, and heatable items—to children facing cancer, especially during the holidays.
该慈善机构旨在减轻住院的情感和身体负担,因为每年约有1 900名15岁以下英国儿童被诊断患有癌症。
The charity aims to ease the emotional and physical burden of hospital stays, as around 1,900 UK children under 15 are diagnosed with cancer each year.
尽管生存率有所改善,但许多人面临长期挑战,这一运动鼓励公众捐款,为受影响家庭带来欢乐的时刻。
Despite improved survival rates, many face long-term challenges, and the campaign encourages public donations to bring moments of joy to affected families.
