from Help and Hope Happen Here · host Mark Levine

In April of 2023 Vickie Stevens and Don McCarthy's little son Rio was experiencing a loss of appetite, limping instead of walking, and losing energy. After a stay at a local hospital did not solve the question of what was wrong with Rio, he was transferred to a large hospital in London and was finally diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma. Rio is now into his 8th month of treatment  and the hope is that he will at some point be able to travel to Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York to take a drug that has proven to be highly successful in treating Rio's form of Neuroblastoma . Vickie and Don will also talk about the organization Solving Kids Cancer which has proven to be very helpful for their family and many others in England.  www.solvingkidscancer.org.uk/children/rio+1
