Josh, Nathan, Daniel and Luke

Josh, Nathan, Daniel and Luke are all big Blue Peter Fans, Josh even won a competition just before he was diagnosed with XLP to be crowned “Blue Peters Number 1 Fan” and appeared on the show. Due to Josh’s immune system after his transplant, and the coming transplants of his brothers, the family were very restricted in what they could do. So Post Pals contacted Blue Peter and asked if they would consider awarding the boys a Gold badge (very rarely given to anyone) and 2 weeks later all 4 boys were awarded a gold badge each. Josh was particularly over the moon with this, and was rumored (started by his Dad!) to even be wearing it on his pajamas!

Nathan also loves Casualty so during his transplant Post Pals wrote to them and they sent him a hat which is often seen on the program.

When Nathan was expected to be in hospital for Christmas we sent a reindeer pinata stuffed with goodies for the boys to do together on the ward. Happily, Nathan was discharged just in time for Christmas and they had great fun playing with it in their back garden.
