Gathering the superhero's

"One can pay back the loan of gold, but one dies forever in debt to those who are kind."
~Malayan Proverb


WHAT AN AMAZING RESPONSE!

Malik's father, Carl would like us to thank every single person that has been in touch with us over the past few weeks and who continue to do so today. He is so grateful  and totally blown away for all the support he has received after agreeing to let us tell Malik's story.  Amazing people have reached out to Malik and people are asking what he needs and what they can do to help.

Everyone here at Malik's Fight are so touched and completely humbled to receive an amazing response via all forms of social media... we could never thank you all enough for helping to show your support in your well wishes and messages of  encouragement! The power of emotional support is endless and we had some very special people leaving messages for him throughout this week.



We had some real super hero's fighting our corner these past few days and the response that has come from their hard work has been outstanding...

Malik has been offered free nutritional advice by a UK dietitian, assistance with some possible home schooling and some fantastic contacts regarding some fundraising we have up and coming. There are also discussions of possible meet and greets with some special sporting stars! A very kind soul has offered Malik a computer, along with some great educational games to keem him busy while he spends his days at home. All these small things add up. You don't have to spend a cent to offer your time and kindness to help someone else and we are so grateful to the people who have offered to help Malik and his family.

People have been tirelessly tweeting and re-tweeting to anyone and everyone they know and can think of and this in turn has helped us get a fantastic 231 people following Malik on twitter @maliksfight , an amazing 80 'likes' on Facebook (MaliksFight) and this blog has been read an astounding 1222 times!

These are some of the beautiful people and organisations doing outstanding work for us - from tweeting their hearts out and raising awareness of Malik's fight, down to the people that have reached out and gotten in touch with us to offer their help.....

THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES OVER  !!  



There were some girls that put twitter and the internet under some intense strain over the past few days and we have a special thank you for them as well  :)

So hOw Is MaLiK fEeLiNg  ?

Malik had his chemo this week and it was amazing to see so many messages of strength and hope.
Besides a few aches and pains, he is in high spirits and resting well at home.


Thank you to everyone for your continued support to Malik and his family as it has made a huge difference in their daily lives because they no longer feel so alone.

WHAT'S NEXT ?

We would really love to have some 'Malik's fight" T-Shirts printed. If you know of anyone who could assist us in making some t-shirts or wouldn't mind giving up some of your time for a good cause and helping us design something for Malik's t-shirts, please get in touch! We would love to hear from you!

  1. Hi Folks!

    As you all can imagine, this has been a very bumpy road for us, not to mention stressful and everything else that goes with it, but the good news is that we stand by our faith, our God who is an Awesome God, and we believe that He will carry us through this battle. We have thanked everybody for their support and kind messages, and I would like to just say a HUGE Thank You to The Lord our Father for bringing us so far, and His Grace. For allowing us to share this story with so many people, and I hope and pray that this story and the people God has put in our paths will reach thousands more, and touch lives of those also fighting this battle.

  2. Hi Malik,

    You're such an incredibly brave and strong boy. You have made it thus far and I know that you will continue fighting. You truly are an inspiration to many that would want to give up and not fight for what is important to them.

    I'm sure it doesn't get easy, but you have overcome one obstacle after the other and you keep on going. That is something that must be highlighted and is admired.

    May positive and good things follow you as you continue your journey. You have an amazing support system, which I see has been growing. That's awesome!!!

    Continue being the symbol of hope and love...
