Mitchell's Miracles Charity was founded in 2012, in memory of a 7 year old boy called Mitchell Huth, who sadly lost his life to Neuroblastoma a childhood cancer.
What Is Neuroblastoma?
Neuroblastoma is the 2nd most aggressive solid tumour cancer in all registered childhood cancers. It affects mostly affects children under the age of 5 years.
Neuroblastoma cancer starts in early nerve cells called neuroblasts
Each year, over 100 children in the UK are diagnosed with Neuroblastoma. We are proud to support nearly 75% of the families affected by this condition.
Our goal is to provide every child undergoing treatment for Neuroblastoma with a fleece bravery blanket kit to offer warmth, comfort, and a meaningful way to express their journey.
How It Works:
With each treatment, surgery, or challenging procedure, the child will tie a new fleece square to their growing blanket. They will also attach a cotton patch where they can draw a picture or write a message reflecting their emotions.
Over time, this transforms into a personalized bravery blanket, symbolizing their strength and resilience. Not only does it provide warmth and comfort during their treatment, but it also becomes a treasured keepsake of their courage throughout their journey.
