Super Gabriel’s Journey
Gabriel was diagnosed with aplastic anaemia in October 2021. This brave warrior then had to spend both Christmas and his 9th birthday in isolation in hospital, following a bone marrow transplant. He’s been home for a while now, but Gabriel still faces further stem cell treatment for his condition. Ever the creative mind, Gabriel had a very specific request for his Supershoes. He asked for Homer Simpson, fighting Cole from Lego Ninjago with a piece of pink cake. Super Artist Karena was only too happy to oblige and Gabriel was thrilled with the results, as you can see! Gabriel’s mum says ” thank you for bringing a smile to his face”! You’re so welcome Gabriel! What a brilliant and unique pair of Supershoes you designed!
