Beau Cameron and a special cause
Many of you know Richard Cameron – he is a long-standing friend and colleague to a lot of us in the business finance industry. His beautiful son Beau has become very unwell in the last five months and is now requiring around the clock care.
One of the things that would make life a little easier is the purchase of a stair climber which allow Beau to get from his bedroom to downstairs and outside for walks. This costs £6000 and, as an industry, it would be great to help raise funds for this.
His mother, Samantha Cameron
Beau is our son and was a happy normal 10-year-old boy who loved playing Fortnite, ? Minecraft, would play pranks on us and loved life.
Beau is now a 10-year-old who doesn’t speak, walk, talk and can no longer feed himself. I now care for him 24/7.
In December 2020 Beau started experiencing pain in his chest and due to the trauma, he has started to shut down bit by bit. It’s crazy how our lives have changed dramatically in just 5 months. I’m waiting for someone to tell me that this is all a nightmare and I will wake up soon.
We are now waiting for a bed at Great Ormond Street Hospital, unfortunately, we don’t know when this will be or even how long we will be staying there, it could be months.
In the meantime, we are looking to make life as easy for Beau so that he can enjoy time with us and his younger sister Molly.
We have set up a GoFundMe page to help raise funds to get equipment that would help us achieve this.
I’m not posting this to ask for donations as people have been so generous already and we are a quarter of the way towards our target, but I’m looking for PR companies that could possibly help with gaining more awareness.
