Izzy's story:

In January 2020 Isobel (Izzy) was a vibrant and happy 12 year old who suddenly struggled to walk. After 2 weeks in hospital the doctors broke the shocking news that she had a synovial sarcoma in her groin. Izzy underwent chemotherapy and a radical amputation of her entire right leg during the pandemic and she was left with only her left leg.

Not one to let things hold her back, Izzy wanted to raise awareness and spoke to the Bury Free Press, the BBC and was involved in a Sarcoma UK fundraising initiative where she shared details of her sarcoma experience.

Life seemingly returned to a new normal and Izzy was enjoying life and preparing to sit her GCSE’s. However, she unexpectedly suffered a brain bleed on 15th October 2022; tragically the cancer had returned, this time it has metastasized and was present in her brain, lungs, kidney and adrenal gland. Izzy had a short illness and passed away on 14th December 2022.

Izzy truly was the kindest, funniest, sassiest and most amazing young woman with a heart of gold who is missed by her family and friends every single day.

Sarcoma is a type of cancer that develops in the bone and soft tissue. It is difficult to diagnose and one of the hardest to treat. By supporting me, we can help change this. Your donation will help researchers find answers, keep the specialist Support Line open, and raise awareness to improve treatment and standards of care.

Your donations go so far in helping the sarcoma community:

£1 Could cover the cost of 10 texts to the support line.

£10 Could be used to buy microscope slides to look at cells in minute detail.

£30 Could fund one hour of use of a high-powered laboratory microscope.

£150 Could fund the support line for a week.

Thank you for your support.
