The cancer diagnosis of a five-year-old from Beaconsfield has led to a community-wide fundraising effort.

The life of Jas and Anish Gaur was shocked to the core when their youngest daughter Siya was diagnosed with Wilms tumour when she was just four-years-old.

It’s a journey no parent can ever prepare themselves for, Siya’s mother Jas said.

She said: “Siya has been a real superhero through the last six months, undergoing two major surgeries, chemo and regular stays at hospital due to fevers.”

The little girl “absolutely hates” the on-going treatment, but she is still bubbly and cheers people up – and despite her treatment, she is eager to go to her school at Butlers Court as much as possible, her mother said.

Jas said: “She’s going in only half a day because we have to do weight gain for her body to tolerate the treatment. Today she wanted to go, she said it herself."

Following Siya’s diagnosis, Butlers Court School’s PTA jumped to action, and announced the Super Hero Fun Run held on June 25 to support Young Lives vs Cancer charity, which has also supported Jas and her family through the difficult journey.

Jas said: “They have been calling us every couple of weeks, and they got us free tickets to go to Lego Land.”

While the charity offers emotional support, the also help families with costs related to cancer treatment, such as travel to hospital, overnight stays at a hotel.

This help with costs is crucial during the cost of living crisis, Jas said.

She added: “People with cancer feel the cold a lot more. What you then find with the energy prices rising you need to keep the heating on a lot more.”

The mother-of-two praised the Beaconsfield community for their support, like meals and gifts for their two daughters left on their doorstep, offers of playdates and care packages, and now the upcoming fundraiser 5km run and summer fayre.

The charity has also supported their eldest seven-year-old daughter, who has struggled to manage her emotions and talk to the parents during "huge change paired with the worry.”

“Without this support this we don’t know how we would have coped.”

“Some people are not fortunate enough to have the same support available to them - it is for this reason we have chosen Young Lives vs Cancer.”

The event on June 25 is open to the public, and includes a 5km course and a children’s 1km route on the school grounds, followed by a BBQ, café, stalls from local businesses, games and an obstacle course.
