On 27th November 2007 I unfortunately lost not only my sister but my best friend too! Zoe (my sister) passed away from cancer which she put her all in to fight it but it just got the better of her! Zoe had Rhabdomyosarcoma which is a soft tissue cancer. After many trips to the doctors and being told it was ear infections and sinusitis to then being blue lighted up to Southampton Hospital where scans were done and being told the most devastating news that Zoe had cancer! She had rounds of chemotherapy and radiotherapy which did clear the cancer, however Easter 2007 Zoe went for a check up scan which then we were told some more heartbreaking news that the cancer was back however this time it was untreatable! There was nothing they could do. Zoe then just wanted to live her life to the full until it was her time to become an angel! We created some amazing memories which myself and my family will hold onto for a lifetime!

And now we want to give something back to Piam Brown Ward to say a huge thank you for everything that they did not only for my sister but the whole family! O
