Dear people,
Sophie needs all of us again!

Eight months ago this child prodigy arrived in Turkey with a pulse rate of 30. The doctors in Bulgaria gave her days to live. No one knew if she would wait until the next morning. But Sophie survived! Not just survived, but came back from the brink in a way that even medicine has a hard time explaining.

Today we can say something that was unthinkable before:
Sophie is over 96% clean.

After countless therapies that took her away and brought her back, after moments her parents still have no words for, she is talking again. She laughs. She plays. She's living.

But the last MRI showed a speck - literally half a millimeter. So small that it's impossible to tell if it's active or inactive, but enough to signify a risk. And the risk to Sophie simply has no place.
For the last month, we've been searching for a solution that wasn't just the next best treatment, but the best treatment possible. The safest. With experience, with proven results, with a team working on the latest protocols for medulloblastoma with leptomeningeal disease. And we found it.
We found someone who is on the front line of this battle in Europe.
Dr. Andres Morales - a leading pediatric neuro-oncologist at Sant Joan de Déu Hospital - Barcelona. A center that treats children from all over the world, applying personalized approaches, experimental therapies, methods that Bulgaria and Turkey simply do not have.
And, most importantly - he accepted Sophie immediately.
The disease can not wait.

Why exactly MEMMAT (the protocol Dr. Andres Morales will treat Sophie with) ?
It is a maintenance protocol (not an experimental treatment!) designed for children at high risk of recurrence of medulloblastoma. It is not a standard chemotherapy, but a targeted, metronidated therapy that:
- destroys residual tumor cells,
- prevents new metastases,
- suppresses the blood supply to tumours,
- blocks growth signaling pathways,
- gives a chance of long-term remission without severe toxicity.

It is the only proven method that increases the likelihood of a lasting cure in children like Sophie.
The family remains deeply grateful to Dr. Funda and the entire team in Turkey. They saved Sophie's life. They gave a chance for a new beginning.

But the battle is not yet over. And Sophie can't go through the last straight alone.

Dear people,
Sophie has already achieved the impossible.
Half a millimeter should not decide the fate of a child.
Donate to the best of your ability.
Be a part of this story.
Because Sophie has already shown that we should never, ever give up the opportunity to save a child's life, no matter how small the opportunity seems! Sophie is a lesson for ourselves as well. Sophie is a hope and probably not only an emotional one, but a medical one!
