I first met Emily two years ago at our Christmas party when her mum explained to me that she had got Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. At the time, Emily had just started her treatment. When I immediately met Emily, I realised I wanted More Mascots Please CIC to help her. I met with mum, Kate, as well and I realised how much the family had had to adapt their lives around the diagnosis, and how many times Emily would have to be admitted into hospital for treatment and the negative effects this would have on Emily and the rest of her family. More Mascots Please CIC is very pleased to announce that Emily is now finished with her treatment and has rang the bell of celebration and is currently cancer free. We are delighted that this is the case! 

So, we decided to use some of our funds to throw Emily and her friends a nice relaxing afternoon and pamper party, to really show Emily just how brave she has been. We are so proud of her and her family and we wanted to acknowledge this. Please see the wonderful pictures and the quote from Emily's mom below:

"Despite all odds MMP went above and beyond to arrange a surprise pamper party for Emily. Since her diagnosis Emily’s lost a lot of confidence It was lovely to see Emily smiling and laughing with her friends. I’m so grateful to MMP for celebrating Emily’s bravery and also giving her the opportunity to share the moment with her friends who have shown great maturity and supported Emily through a tough few years."
