Story
It is with our deepest sadness that on Friday 28th June 2024, our beautiful Mum passed away.
Unfortunately, our amazing Mum had a constant battle with Cancer throughout her life but despite battles she continued to be the incredible woman we all know her to be.
As many of you know, our mum was the kindest, most loving and inspirational woman. She has repeatedly showed us all what true strength and courage is and we will indefinitely continue to make her proud in all ways possible.
Three Wishes - Cancer Care Fund and Prevent Breast Cancer are two remarkable charities close to our hearts.
The Three Wishes- Cancer Care Fund is a charity that works closely with the Cancer Care Centre at the Royal Albert Edward Infirmary in Wigan. The Centre offers some chemotherapy treatments that previously patients had to travel further afield for. It also has a team that offers complementary therapies such as reiki. Our mum found this extremely useful, especially after having rigorous chemotherapy treatment.
Prevent Breast Cancer is the only UK charity that is dedicated entirely to the prediction and prevention of breast cancer. Their aim is to stop the problem before it starts and their goal is to protect future generations from getting breast cancer and ultimately ensuring that families like ours don't have to go through the pain and trauma we have gone through.
Both charities work closely with the amazing support group our mum went to every month from when she was diagnosed with Secondary Breast Cancer. It is led by our mum’s specialist nurse, Kate Tomkinson. Our mum made numerous friends at this support group which not only helped her physically but emotionally and mentally too.
Please donate generously to these charities in honour of our wonderful mum.
