A Brave Jump for a Brave Daughter

Last week, the amazing and incredibly brave Mohammed took a giant leap and completed a bungee jump to raise money for Milly’s Smiles!

Mohammed chose to support us after his daughter Juwairiya (Juwy), was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) in December 2023. Due to the severity of her cancer, Juwy developed osteoporosis which caused fractures to her spine in multiple places, and meant that she had to spend 4 months on bedrest, on Ward 86 at The Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.

Mohammed told us that getting a Milly Bag was one of the first kind gestures they received, and it really touched all their hearts. Everything inside the bag was useful and well used. Juwy slept every night with the blanket, the rainbow elephant and the heat pad and the bag is still used for hospital visits today.

Juwy continues to use her rainbow blanket and wear her beanie hat too, and thankfully she is now doing really well with her treatment and is walking and back at her primary school.

To show his thanks Mohammed took on the challenge of throwing himself (safely!) off a platform in a massive bungee jump, and so far he’s raised an incredible £1,036.00 for Milly’s Smiles!

A huge thank you to Mohammed for his bravery and support. Everyone at Milly’s Smiles are so grateful to you and your beautiful family, we send our love to you all, especially Juwy who we think is an absolute superstar.
