Story

Our friend Donna, is a 45 year old woman, mother of 2 (and a fur baby), a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a niece, cousin, a godmother, a fierce and loving friend, confidante and colleague, a leader, a career woman’s and my wife’s best friend…….. She is also now a woman living with cancer.

Donna found out initially in November 2023 she likely had cancer after having an emergency endoscopy following a period of being sick; like a bug, the doctors thought she had an infection. She didn’t - it was confirmed stomach cancer in December after many biopsies and tests. A huge mass living in her stomach. This diagnosis has cut through and impacted everyone and everything that she loved and has been a huge shock to us all.

Many of the early signs and symptoms are missed because they could relate to other common illnesses (for her ibs and a stressful lifestyle was the thing that hid the cancer really).

Through this charity we will raise funds to assist in raising awareness related to stomach cancer and support others through their cancer journey.

Thank you for donating 🩷
