Hi folks. You are probably wishing it wasn’t back-to-school week but we are actually wishing it was….
Our Daniel had been doing very well over the summer but he had some hospital tests last week and unfortunately the results showed he has suffered a relapse.
In short it means he needs more chemo, starting in the Royal in Belfast on Monday. So we have another battle ahead of us, but as always he is up for the fight.
We’ll keep you updated on his progress, thanks again for all your support and good wishes. 💪❤
More good news from Do It For Daniel #DIFD! 😁
Having undergone a full year of some pretty challenging treatment, our Daniel had a scan last week and we were surprised and delighted to be told there are no longer any traces of active cancer in his body.
🙌 It means he doesn’t need any more chemo for now, so hopefully he can enjoy his summer without so many trips back and forward to hospital. We’ll still have plenty of check-ups just to keep an eye on him, but needless to say, we’re over the moon at his progress!
Daniel’s recovery was only possible because he was lucky enough to get a #stemcelltransplant from an anonymous donor in Germany.
❤ Now we just need to find a match for eight-year-old Bobby Browne from Bessbrook, who was diagnosed with #leukaemia a few days before Daniel last summer.
Stem cell/bone marrow donation really works – it worked for us. Please help make it work for Bobby too by taking a quick cheek swab test: https://www.dkms.org.uk/…/virtua…/find-a-match-for-bobby

The most fantastic news. Welcome home, Daniel. Have a wonderful Christmas
“He said it’s the best Christmas present he’s ever had” 😁🎄
Almost two months to the day after his lifesaving #stemcelltransplant, our Daniel was well enough to fly home from Bristol today with his family, just in time for Christmas! 🥳. We can hardly believe this day has come!
There is still some way to go yet with his treatment, but after so many months spent in hospitals, you can just imagine there is no place like home!
Thank you to everyone who helped get our favourite 15-year-old to this stage of his recovery – the nurses, the doctors, friends, family, fundraisers, swab testers and last but not least our wonderful German stem cell donor, without whom none of this would be possible. We hope she has a very merry Christmas! Danke, danke, danke 🙏❤️
Please spread the word about the importance of joining stem cell and bone marrow registers – and help make Christmas wishes come true for other families who are battling childhood cancer. 💪🌟

🎶Have Yourself A Merry Luttle Christmas🎶
Thankfully our very own #doitfordaniel, Daniel Greer is on the other side of his #stemcelltransplant journey and is so far making a good recovery. 🙏
One of Daniel’s last trips out before he was diagnosed with #leukemia in the summer was to a concert at Newry City Hall to watch his teenage cousin Emily Flanagan Sings performing with The Choir Studio.
To celebrate, Emily has recorded this beautiful song for Daniel. ☺️ She’s also hoping to raise some money for Angel Wishes, the Northern Ireland charity that has given so much support to Daniel and his mum and dad over the past few weeks.
Please take a moment to listen and if you can, please support the charity.
Thank you.
