    Weʼve raised £535 to Support Nix through her fight with bowel cancer

    Story

    In Jan 2016, I was diagnosed with terminal bowel cancer that has already spread to my liver, which is extremely rare at the age of 33.

    Through the NHS I have been told that chemotherapy is the only option, but it won't cure me. However, research online has shown that there are some private treatments and trials abroad that could help me.

    I also have a few items on my bucket list I'd love to tick off, and a list of charities that have already been fantastic.

    I am a wife to Chris and a mother to Fern who is currently only 2 and a half. I simply can't bear the thought of leaving them. I'm not ready to die.

    Without chemotherapy my oncology specialist predicts I may only have 2 to 3 months left.

    Any potential treatments can only start after the chemotherapy which will be around July 2016. Until that point, any money raised will be immediately useful as I can no longer work and Chris has become a full time carer for me and Fern.

    Because there is still a lot of unknown in what lies ahead, I can't break down finances exactly but anything raised would go towards the following - Private treatments (that could potentially save me), Travel to and from UK NHS appointments, A few bucket list ticks with my family and Charitable donations to - North Devon Hospice (already providing fantastic support for the whole family), The Red Cross, Cancer Research UK

      What is crowdfunding?

      Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered charity.

      The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.

      Great people make things happen

      Do you know anyone in need or maybe want to help a local community cause?

      Create you own page and donʼt let that cause go unfunded!
