A Sheffield family are aiming to raise \u00a3350,000 for their three-year-old son to have lifesaving treatment in America.<\/p>\n

Jude Mellon-Jameson was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, an aggressive and rare form of cancer, a day before his third birthday.<\/p>\n

He has undergone months of treatment but funding for his NHS care is due to come to an end this September.<\/p>\n

Arron Mellon-Jameson, Jude’s father, said:\u00a0 “It’s a chance to turn the tables in our son’s favour and we owe him that for the bravery he has shown and the smile he has kept on his face.”<\/p>\n

After being bit by a tick it was originally thought the poorly youngster was suffering from Lyme Disease. It was only after taking Jude to doctors and A&E for six weeks he was finally diagnosed with the life-threatening condition.<\/p>\n

Jude has already endured 90 days and 58 nights in the hospital, undergoing regular chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery to remove the tumor, as well as a stem cell transplant and is about to endure six months of immunotherapy.<\/p>\n

Mr. Mellon-Jameson said: “He approaches everything with a smile and a positive attitude, we’ve all learned a lot from him, he’s an incredible inspiration.”<\/p>\n

Once Jude’s NHS Treatment ends this September, it is estimated there is approximately a 50% – 60% relapse rate. It is estimated the two trials in New York will try to reduce the chance of relapse by one percent.<\/p>\n

Mr Mellon-Jameson said: “The idea of raising the money is daunting but you take solace in the fact other families have done it.<\/p>\n

“You have to take a step to start that journey, we did that, and eight days later we are already at \u00a330,000.<\/p>\n

Mr Mellon-Jameson played for Sheffield Wednesday for eight years making two appearances, before leaving the team when he was 24.<\/p>\n

Last Sunday, a delighted Jude delivered the match ball at Hillsborough as 28,000 fans sang his name.<\/p>\n

Proud dad, Mr Mellon-Jameson said: “He dealt with the crowd better than I ever did, when he got on that pitch he thrived.<\/p>\n

“It’s his character, he takes everything in his stride, from the football match to the way he has battled over the last several months.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
