In memory of my Mum

Sunday 12th Apr Ovarian cancer is a silent cancer, one that can take a while to diagnose, and by that time one that can often be at an advanced stage. My Mum went to the Doctor and was told gallstones; we thought ok, an operation and she’ll be sorted. We did not think for one minute my Mum would be alone in hospital (Covid times) being told she had cancer, not once had this previously been mentioned! It took over a further 2 months before we found out what type and stage of cancer, ovarian cancer, stage 4. As a family our lives changed at that time forever. Even while Mum was with us and going through treatment, we felt we were losing her everyday. Then that day came. Mum was finally free of the horrible disease. Our hearts broken, our lives changed forever. So when we came across this fundraiser, it was a no brainer. If we can raise any amount whatsoever to help research this horrible disease, then we will. All 15 of us. If you can donate and support us it would mean the world to us. Thank you so much. Share
