Story
This is the story I never wanted to write, the story that nobody ever wants to hear.
But this story has to be told and I am asking if all of you would help a little towards giving it a happier ending.
Louise, Mum, Daughter, Beever's, Lou, by whatever name we know her is a beautiful person inside and out.
40 years young, with a loving family and 4 amazing children.
Louise found a breast lump in January, Lou was also in early pregnancy. That Lump turned out to be cancer. Whilst pregnant Lou underwent surgery, a mastectomy and lymph node clearance. All other treatment had to stop until little Suzy was safely delivered.
Chemo started and then came this devastating news. This is how Lou with her indominable spirit, courage and love for her family, announced it to the world.
RIGHT! As many of you know the Grim Reaper came a knocking at my door a few months ago. He came in the form of breast cancer . He took away my boob and lymph nodes while I was pregnant with my beautiful baby girl, Suzy. I’ve since had chemo he took away my hair and gave me sickness and pain.
Last week he finally made his made up and has decided he is taking all of me. The cancer has spread to my lungs and is now incurable. BUT! While I cannot deny his wish to take all of me, I do have life left in me to live. So no moping around people. We have memories to make and love to spread. I entrust all of you to help me make the most of the time I have left with all of you. Sky dive with my eldest child, seeing my baby’s first birthday, telling everyone I love them a zillion times over…
So buckle up the ride out of here for me is about to start and it isn’t going to be a disappointing and slow one!
So please can you dig deep, lets help this gorgeous woman make those memories and tick every last thing off of her bucket list.
Thank you. Any donation you can make will make the difference .

1 year agoA little word from Louise --- As I sit here with my babe, Suzy sleeping soundly on my chest, I finally found the courage to read through all of the comments on the JustGiving page kindly set up by the wonderful Amanda O'Dell. I’ve spent the past half hour with tears rolling down my face. I don’t believe a single one of you will fully know the astounding impact you have had on me. I am truly amazed and blown away by the kindness of your words and the generosity of your actions. For once in my life… I am lost for words. Thank you 💕
