Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Jo was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer at the age of 28. For nearly 5 years she bravely battled but unfortunately she lost her fight at age 32 last November, leaving behind so many people that loved her.

Jo was beautiful inside and out. She had such a sunny disposition and dealt with her illness with courage and dignity. She never let her illness define her and sometimes it was hard to believe how poorly she actually was. She was always so interested in what everyone else was doing and always remained positive.

I had the privilege of spending lots of time with her over the last few years and we shared many happy times together. She taught me so much about how to live every day and appreciate the people I love and for that I will be eternally grateful. I miss her every day and think about her always.

I am raising money for Maggies because it is a charity that was very close to Jo's heart. Maggies supported Jo though some very difficult times and provided her with invaluable support and I know that she would want all the money raised to go to them.
