Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I can't run a marathon and I can't swim a lake but I can jump..... About 10,000 feet  out of an aeroplane ( I hope).   I want to do this so I can give something back  to one of the amazing charities that helped our daughter when she was diagnosed with a Rhabdoid Sarcoma tumour at the age of 22 months old.

For those of you who don't know Holly-May's story, when Holly-May was taken to Addenbrookes Hospital in May 2011she was very ill and was put into intensive care as her lung had collapsed and then we were told the most devastating news that Holly-May had cancer and as the Tumour was very aggresive and rare the treatment often didn't work.  It's hard to remember those painful words when the consultant told us our baby girl may not be with us for much longer.  The doctors and nurses were great and Holly-may was given Chemotherapy once they had operated to find out more about the tumour and thankfully after the first round of chemotherapy the tumour had stared to shrink, they told us they needed to be very aggressive with the 10 months of treatment they had planned for Holly-may to give her every chance of surviving and making sure the tumour would not come back. Holly-may went on to have two further operations and a very gruelling 5 weeks of Radiotherapy that she had to have 5 days a week.  We are so proud and  feel so lucky to still have our beautiful daughter in our lives.  Holly-may has just turned 6yrs old and is a funny, brave and caring little girl who is loved so much by her family and is now 3 years in remission.  

 If you can please donate to help me raise money for cancer research so they can continue there amazing work at trying to find better treatments and cures for such a horrid disease. Thank you and wish me luck xx
