Story
I know there are a lot of requests on facebook but I am asking all my family and friends if you do anything today, please read this page.
I am trying to raise much needed funds for a very special family friend Ria Mcgauley who six years ago bravely fought breast cancer whilst pregnant! However last week, she was sadly diagnosed with secondary lung and liver cancer.
At 36 years of age, she has two beautiful boys, Osian is 10 and Alfie is 5. She also has an amazing, supportive husband Tony, who has had to give up work to become Ria's carer as strong medication means she needs someone with her all the time.
Ria is funny, cheeky, naughty and has a heart of gold. Once you meet her, you fall in love with her infectious laugh and energy.
She is a Pembrokeshire girl and was brought up in Goodwick by her Dad Mike, who's now passed away, her Mum Janey, brother Darren and sister Lucy. Ria now lives in Bath and is hugely supported by Tony's lovely family.
I would like to raise as much money as possible as they need to move house to make Ria's life easier and more manageable.
Macmillan have been amazing and are providing support and care but I want to try and take pressure off Tony and Ria and them not have to worry about paying everyday bills and I would love them to have a weekend break with the boys and go somewhere special to create memories for them all.
I know there are lots of friends and family helping to arrange fundraising events for Ria which is fantastic but I wanted to do something that could help them and take pressure off as soon as possible.
If you are able to give anything I can not tell you how much it would mean to Ria and her lovely family.
Please please donate what you can who really need our help.
Thank you so much
