Hello
and welcome to the CHICS website.
My name is Barry and I am a member of the Children's
Cancer
Support
Group based in the North West of the UK, covering
Merseyside, the Wirral, North Wales and West
Cheshire.
My wife and I first became
involved with CHICS in April 1993 (Easter
weekend), when our son David was diagnosed with
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (A.L.L.). He was
just 13 months old at the time. Thankfully, he is
now fit and well, after having a bone marrow
transplant from his sister Rachael.
Please take your time to
look around, using the links below, and let me
know what you think. I hope you enjoy your time
here and find what you are looking for.
Best Wishes.
Barry.
