Welcome to Tyra's Blog


Tyra is a very brave 3 year old girl from the Isle of Wight who
has stage 4 Wilms syndrome (if you want more info there is plenty on the net), This means that she has a tumor on her right kidney (well there's no kidney left it's all tumor 11cm big) and also cancer in her lungs. Here on her blog you will be able to follow her progress and if you would like you can help her parents Vicky and Steve with the huge costs related to her treatment, you can help by using the donate button to the right.
