Brennan School of Dance
Lulu joined Brennan School of Dance for her first Ballet
class in Great Denham, 2 years ago.
Happy, full of life, a whirlwind of loveliness, five-year-old Lulu just has a
great big smile that lights up the world. But in January 2018, just months after
starting school, she was diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma and it had
spread to her bones, bone marrow and lymphatic system.
Lulu immediately started chemotherapy and surgery more chemotherapy, stem cell
harvest, high dose chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy (which she is
currently having) followed.
Her family want Lulu to access treatment in New York – a clinical trial which
is showing promise in reducing relapse rates, which near 50% with high-risk neuroblastoma.
If that happened to Lulu, her chances of survival would drop to less than one in ten. Her parents are launching an appeal
to raise £162,000 by June 2019, and hope Lulu will be in remission
at the end of immunotherapy to be able to access the treatment.
During all classes in the week beginning 20th May
all students can come to class in mufti/ dressing up costumes or pyjamas to
raise money for Lulu’s treatment. I suggest £1.00 per class. I hope you all
agree this is our way of helping a family that need our love and support at
this very difficult time.
All the teachers will collect donations during class of the
suggested week.
Thank you in advance and I will inform you after half term
of our grand total.
Kind Regards

20 years in the making
A big thank you to all the students for a fantastic show and all the wonderful texts, emails and cards I have received over the last few weeks.
Well done to everyone back stage, the show could not happen without your help.
It was so relaxed back stage and so many funny moments.
Thank you to everyone for my beautiful flowers.
You can still place an order for a DVD and photographs including action shots which are available on line.
We raised £800 for Smiley Club, Mencap. Thank you.
Summer Term fees are now due and we will be building lots of the students up to take exams before the end of the year.
Thank you again. I am so proud of all the students.
I feel very blessed that I have achieved 20 years with the school. It has its lows and stress but the joy and sense of achievement its has brought to so many children and myself over the years will never go away.
Precious memories for us all to treasure.
