She is now cancer free, and her chances of survival now increased to 80%. She has undergone and continues to undergo treatment in the US to try and keep the cancer away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018The support the first Mix4Mollie event got was so far beyond our expectations, that we went on to raise \u00a311K.&nbsp;We went again for the second year and raised \u00a312K!&nbsp;\u00a323K raised from what is essentially a bunch of amateur DJs using their hobby to try and do some good in the world\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The current total raised over this weekend is \u00a35,241, which in light of the current financial struggles, and cost of living increases in the world is absolutely astonishing.&nbsp;Rob said: \u2018We are so proud of this, and so very grateful for everyone who has joined us, danced, laughed and donated over the weekend.&nbsp;The money raised will go to the families of the kids fighting this awful cancer. &nbsp;Just know you have made a massive difference!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018That\u2019s over \u00a328K raised so far across the 3 events.&nbsp;I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll do it again next year!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>JustGiving Page<\/strong> &#8211;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/lnkd.in\/ejpB4Cjt\">https:\/\/lnkd.in\/ejpB4Cjt<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What a weekend that was.&nbsp;This is the third time WPP Sales Director, Rob Brown (ERAVE365) has helped organise a 60 hour DJ Marathon fundraiser to help kids with Neuroblastoma.&nbsp; Rob helped start fundraising for 2 year old Mollie, the daughter of a friend of his when she was diagnosed with stage 4 Neuroblastoma 2 years [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[133,261,5],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.worldprivilegeplus.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3028"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.worldprivilegeplus.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.worldprivilegeplus.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldprivilegeplus.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldprivilegeplus.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3028"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldprivilegeplus.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3028\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3287,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldprivilegeplus.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3028\/revisions\/3287"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.worldprivilegeplus.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3028"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldprivilegeplus.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3028"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldprivilegeplus.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3028"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
