fundraising page<\/a>, which has seen more than \u00a33,000 donated to help minimise the financial burden on the family.<\/p>\n\u201cWhilst the hospitals so far have been wonderful, there are plenty of costs that are already beginning to add up, such as travel and food,\u201d Ms Elias wrote.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, in Deal, where Matt grew up, The Eagle Tavern has raised \u00a33,500 through the efforts of staff, customers and local organisations.<\/p>\n
Landlady Louisa Phoenix raised \u00a32,000 by having her head shaved by local hairdresser, The Cutting Room.<\/p>\n
The campaign at the Queen Street pub ran for six weeks, culminating in a major fundraising day on Saturday, June 27.<\/p>\n

Alice said: \u201cIt’s incredible, especially because it’s from people we don’t know.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe number of people at the pub who were spending so much money, even though we’d never met them before, was amazing.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s incredible how everybody rallies together for kids who need it, or even adults who need it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Donations and competition prizes also came from organisations such as Deal Town FC.<\/p>\n
A post on the pub’s Facebook page said: \u201cFrom the bottom of our hearts, thank you to every single person who came along, played a game, bought a raffle ticket, enjoyed a burger, donated some spare change or simply helped spread the word.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to everyone else who donated prizes, lent equipment, offered support or helped behind the scenes to make the day so special.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost importantly, thank you for showing Henry and his family just how incredible this community really is.\u201d<\/p>\n
