I have just had a phone call from Newcastle!!?
They have found a match for Rhys in America, not perfect but good enough for them to reserve it! We still have the World Record to break on Thursday for others so I am not going to let the cat out of the bag to the media just yet, as that may have an effect on the impact I want, and do not want anyone walking away just because of this, as I have always said its not just about Rhys. Please do not call just yet as Dawn is wall papering and I have not told her yet, she is doing such a good job it would be a pity to soil it whilst she is in the zone! He He
Thanks everyone! Now the real tough times will start! However we are lucky to get there!
Nothing immediate will happen, they have just told us to enjoy our summer (think she was taking the ____s) so i guess we will be up in Newcastle in October..
Love from Us All. You have all been amazing!

BRAVE RHYS HAS FRESH DONOR HOPE
EXCLUSIVE

A Six-year-old boy has been given a chance to live.
Little Rhys Harris needs a life-saving bone marrow transplant within the next six months or he will die.
He is one of only 35 people in the world to suffer from Nemo, a disease that destroys the body’s immune system.
But with time running out a desperate worldwide search has found a suitable donor for him.
His 42 year-old father Kevin, who is originally from Lan Coed, Winch Wen in Swansea, said: “We’ve got a match.
“It’s not a perfect match but it’s good enough for the medical team in Newcastle where Rhys will have his treatment.
“They’ve told us to enjoy the summer.”
Mr Harris, his 36-year-old wife Dawn and four-year-old son Morgan, hope to take Rhys to Disneyland.
The brave little boy, who now lives in Newbridge, Gwent, will then have his ground-breaking treatment in late September.
Bone marrow from his donor in America will be flown over a couple of days before.
Rhys will then undergo chemotherapy to kill off his existing immune system before the transplant.
He will then face a nine-month fight for life in a virtual air bubble while his body’s defences recover.
Only doctors, nurses and one parent at any one time will be allowed in the room.
It is hoped that the new bone marrow will start making blood platelets.
“That’s all the hope we have,” said Mr Harris.
“We’ve done everything we can to raise awareness and the response from people has been fantastic.
“A few days ago we didn’t have a donor for Rhys but at least now we have got a fighting chance.”
