Nicola is a truly beautiful person who we all adore and love. She fought so hard and was so brave, her gorgeous smile made us so happy. She is our 'Queen Bee', and she is so much more than a wife, sister and auntie. She is our best friend and she will forever stay in our hearts. Nicola touched so many people's lives with her love and kindness, words cannot describe how much she will be missed.

We want to raise money to help with research into amyloidosis as little is still known about this disease. After Nicola's recent diagnosis, she was under the care of the Royal Free hospital in London as this is where the National Amyloidosis Centre is located. We would love for people to donate to this charity and help combat this disease. 

Amyloidosis is a rare disease caused by damaging build up of abnormal protein fibres, called amyloid, within the tissues and organs. Amyloidosis can affect any part of the body and lead to life threatening organ failure. It causes the death of about one person in every thousand and there are about 6,000 cases in the UK at any time.The Amyloidosis Research Fund within the Royal Free Charity supports the research, development and patients of the UK NHS National Amyloidosis Centre (NAC) at the Royal Free Hospital. The Centre, established in 1999, is funded directly by NHS Specialised Services to provide diagnostic and management advisory services for all UK amyloidosis patients.
