In May 2016 Cheryl was diagnosed with a grade 4 brain tumour. The worst possible case scenario that it could have been. 

The doctors said she would have 12-18 months of life left to live, but after only a very short 16 weeks and 3 days Cheryl died peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family, children and husband.

Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer… yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease. 

We would love to give others the opportunity of time, we may not be able to find a cure, but the days and weeks that followed Cheryl's diagnosis were not only filled with tears but with laughter too..

A little about Cheryl...

A beautiful daughter, wife, mother, sister, loyal friend. Someone that could fill a room with laughter and love and personality, loved by all that met her and missed by so many.   

Her smile lives on in Stanley and Marie. Stanley has the same cute cheeks, Marie laughs just like her, and both Stanley and Marie can be just a bossy. We will continue to share her life with them, and ensure that they both grow up to remember her with love and pride. 

Sometimes our wonderful world can be so cruel. To take a mother from her children when they need her the most, a wife from a loving husband and a daughter and sister from the heart of a family.

Cheryl had no time to put together a memory box for her children, which was something she had planned to do after the radiotherapy, but cancer plays by its own rules, and she became too unwell too quickly.

Please share any stories or photos that you have so we can make the memory boxes that she never had the time to do.

We are fundraising for Brain Tumour Research as they are the only national charity dedicated to funding long-term, sustainable research in the UK. Please help me fund the fight. Together we will find a cure.

Lots of love
