Mikayla's Story
Natasha's family visited the Lodge in March 2024.
Mikayla was diagnosed with brain cancer at the age of 4 years. This was discovered via a routine eye test . This was 2 weeks before Christmas in 2010, 15 percent of the tumour was removed surgically in early January and chemotherapy started straight after.
Mikayla has received chemotherapy ever since and will be for the rest of her life, this has been the biggest roller coaster journey we have ever been on and the chemotherapy has taken its toll.
Sadly the tumour has left Mikayla registered blind and she also has epilepsy, we pray daily for stable scans but we know Mikayla will never be cured.
During this time Mikayla the inspirational person that she is has set up her own charity that grants wishes to other children fighting cancer we think this gives Mikayla the determination to fight not only for her self but for others.
Huge thank you to Ben Saunders Foundation to this much needed family break 💕
