Four-year-old Kyra who was diagnosed with retinoblastoma in August last year, had more than one type of gift for Christmas.

Kyra’s Mum, Samantha, tells how a local church went out of their way to grant three wishes Kyra had made for Christmas, including seeing Santa. She expected to see Santa at a shopping centre, but was surprised when he turned up at her house.

But this wasn’t the only gift for Kyra and her Mum. Kyra, after having the eye with the cancer removed, was given the magical news that she was clear of cancer. Of course, she will ahve to be monitored for five years, but the news was just what the family needed.

Kyra’s Mum talks about the importance of support from friends and the community. I think this is definitely important for families of kids with retinoblastoma.
