No more pizza! Hospital's hilarious plea after ward was inundated with more than 20 pies when cancer sufferer, 2, and her family taped a request for the treat on her window

A two-year-old girl who is bravely battling cancer received more than 20 pizzas over the weekend when she put up a joke sign reading 'SEND PIZZA RM 4112' in the window of her hospital room.

The family of Hazel Hammersley helped her put up the plea last week, hoping it would just brighten someone's day.



But then it was spotted by a Reddit user, posted on the site, and the pizzas started flooding in. By Saturday afternoon both Hazel's mother and the hospital had to gratefully point out that 'NO MORE PIZZA IS NEEDED.'

Happy times: Hazel was overjoyed to receive the surprise pizza. Her mother wrote that she 'woke up from her nap to the smell of pizza and was so excited to chow down!'

Hazel, nicknamed 'Hazelnut' by her family, was diagnosed with a High-Risk, Stage 3 Neuroblastoma on April 24, 2013. She will be receiving 18 months of hospital treatment and has a donation page .

Lauren, Hazel's mother, wrote on the family blog : ' Since we have been here for quite a while, we try to pass the time by doing fun and silly things for our precious 2-year old.'



One of these things was creating a plea for pizza with medical tape on her window.



After a photo of the sign was posted on Reddit , the hospital was deluged with food within hours. Lauren wrote: ' Hazel woke up from her nap to the smell of pizza and was so excited to chow down!'

'Several other children and nurses came into the room, with music playing, and had themselves a wonderful Pizza Party,' the grateful mother explained.



'As of yesterday evening, there was more than 20 boxes delivered and more was coming! We had such a great time!

Plenty to share: Hazel's mother said: 'Several other children and nurses came into the room, with music playing, and had themselves a wonderful Pizza Party.'

'However, due to the sheer number of pizzas and inquiries from the media, the hospital has asked that the pizza deliveries end and thank everyone for their support,' lauren added.

She thanked the public for their compassionate acts: 'We have been absolutely humbled and surprised by the outpouring of love and support from the online community and can only hope and pray that this brings awareness to Neuroblastoma and the Childhood Cancer Community.



'Awareness and funding is severely lacking, and to help get better treatments and outcomes for our children, we need all the support we can get! '

Children's Hospital Los Angeles also put out a thankful statement, also explaining that pizza was no longer needed.

It continued: 'We agree with Reddit users. It can be difficult to turn down the request of a sick child, especially when it's a request for pizza.
