'Yes mum, I'll fight monster' - Sunday NewPaper (14 June 2009)

Little Charmaine Lim is only 4 years old this year, but has been recently been diagnosed with stage 4 (cancer) neuroblastoma, a kind of cancer that occurs in infants and kids, and is fighting for her life.

At a tender age, she is currently receiving chemotherapy at NUH. Despite the treatments, the odds of Charmaine's survival stands at a slim 20 per cent, according to her medical report. There is an alternative treatment called 3F8, which Charmaine's NUH medical report noted, could help boost her chances of survival to as much as 40 to 50 per cent. But this treatment is available only at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. It's also very costly - US$350,000, which is slightly more than $500,000.

For your easy reference, Charmaine's NUH Medical Report is attached (downloaded from her website at http://www.ourfeistyprincess.com/ ).

Please help to spread this news to as many people as you possibly can (e.g. your loved ones, relatives, friends, present/former colleagues, neighbours etc), so that it could reach out to the people who have not read this particular news on Sunday. Our simply action of forwarding this news to our contacts for assistance may help to save this little girl's life. J

Nevertheless, if you wish to make a donation (of any amount) to help little Charmaine, you may approach Charmaine's mother directly at http://www.ourfeistyprincess.com/

While little Charmaine is fighting the monster (cancer), let us race against time to spread this news in order to find her the sponsors/donors she needs for treatment.

Thank you!
