Meet Addison Kemp who is currently battling a rare fatal bone marrow disease - Aplastic Anaemia As it stands Addison body does not produce enough blood cells.

Meet 5-year-old Addison who is in urgent need of a Bone Marrow transplant. Despite hopes that her sister Crimson would be a match, we have just received the devastating news that she is not

As we wait for results from the global donors list, the ongoing costs to Addison's family are growing. She does not produce enough platelets, so can bleed out if she has a cut and no neutrophils, so no production against virus, bacteria and fungus. As Addison embarks on her Aplastic Anaemia/BMT journey this will leave only one working parent at home with her little sister Crimson and another at the hospital with Addison. This will be a long journey, should everything go well of 2 years and possibly more. We are also reaching out to friends and family members to consider being tested and joining the register. Donors must be between the ages of 18 and 35

If you are interested in becoming a donor or registering, you can find more information at the following link:
wmda.info/become-a-donor

For those of you in the UK, you can also use this link:

And for anyone living in the UK who is over the age of 35, you can still register to become a donor through the DKMS Foundation here:

Please share and spread the word to help find a match for Addison ❤️

Thank you to all those you donate....

Blessed to have foundations like Quality who send families who’s children have been effected by cancer to have some time to recoup, be a normal family and this time spend some time with friends we met along the way outside the hospital. Truly amazing!!

I love Addisons art 💖🌟. She loves to sit down and express herself through her creativity.

This one is hanging on the wall in my office.

Any idea of a name for this piece……?

25th June 2024 at 10:54pm, this is the photo I took of Addison. She had only been home a few hours and we was so happy she was home and both the babies taking over the bed.

It’s when I noticed how saturated she was in sweat.

It was only a few minutes later I had her straight to hospital after a phone call to the hospital

She didn’t have a temp, felt cold and was soaking! It’s not always the science, bit what you see.

I still jump up when she is awake. Did it tonight!

Have to remind myself, she’s good, just a kid needing the toilet.

The trauma is hard and real! But we have Addison and Crimson. I’m thank full for our journey, because its brought us strength, a warrior and a force to fight for better for others!

Back in hospital this morning. Bit mellow from the clonidine. Addison is have a general anaesthetic for her vaccinations and bloods.

There is a lot of trauma these kids go through. Addison already had procedual anxiety. She’s getting better though.

Strange feeling seeing her in the bed today. Made me anxious. Starting to get our lives back on track, the normality of hospital is wearing off. Good or bad I don’t know. Now I’m stressing and worried, where before I was in fight mode.

One thing is for sure, Addison is pretty amazing!!!

People ask me if the curls are chemo curls. She had them before. However, we missed a part of hair growth that could of been this thicker more brown colour. Who knows, but she does have her mummies curls that’s for sure.
