Gayle's Bucket List!
Donation protected
We are reaching out to the world, on behalf of a remarkable, strong, amazing woman - Gayle, who is currently battling cancer.
With your help, we aim to give Gayle the best possible quality of life during her final moments with us.
We would like to create as many opportunities to give Gayle meaningful moments and precious, happy memories as we can, with her closest family & friends.
Gayle has came up with a "Bucket List" - a list of all the most important dreams she wants to achieve while she can, including getting married to her partner of 19 years, and see her eldest son Daniel pass his driving test.
Some of these wishes have already been completed, such as the Wedding, with the help of family, friends & selfless strangers.
We would like to make sure Gayle accomplishes all of these dreams set out by her, in the most enjoyable way possible.
Not only this, we are currently looking into a trial for treatment, taking place in London. The aim is to hopefully send Gayle to recieve some of these treatments, since she has been taken off Chemotherapy after it was discovered the Chemo was not working, and her tumours have grown & spread.
We pray that this treatment is suitable for Gayle, and that we can raise enough money to send her to London, via train, to pay for these treatments and stay in accommodation over-night before returning. We are unsure at the moment of how many trips she would have to make for these treatments. We also pray every day that this treatment creates miracles on Earth, or at least prolongs Gayle's life for as long as possible.
A little more about Gayle...
Gayle is a newly-married Mother of two incredible boys. Daniel, 16, and Kane, forever 12.
Gayle has a genetic condition called Li-Fraumeni Syndrome (LFS) that highly increases the chances of having cancer.
She was diagnosed in 2008 with breast cancer, and after a courageous fight, she beat the disease and entered remission.
Sadly, in July 2012 her youngest son Kane, then 10, was diagnosed with Liver Cancer, after inheriting the LFS gene. Following a brave, remarkable 17 month battle, Kane sadly grew his angel wings, and left Earth for Heaven - only 4 days after his twelfth birthday.
During Kane's fight, Gayle was advised to undergo a double-mastectomy to help decrease her chances of the disease returning. She refused, as she used all her energy to care for Kane and enjoy every moment.
In June 2013, gayle agreed and had the operation.
November of 2013, Gayle, along with her friends and family, were saddened by the news that tumours had grown back in her body.
She began her battle again right away, she didn't let the diagnosis phase her, she did not let it control or define her and just pushed on.
After receiving a Terminal Diagnosis shortly before Christmas, Gayle's partner Robert decided it was about time they finally Married.
Plans & preparations started right away, and five weeks later, on the third of February 2015, the couple tied the knot, with a beautiful, emotional service, surrounded by their loved-ones.
It was then, that Gayle laid out her wishes to us, and created her Bucket List.
We only hope that you will continue to support Gayle's journey, the same way many of you walked with us through Kane's Wishlist, and help us to keep the most selfless, strongest, most courageous and humble woman, happy as can be in her last moments with us all.
Everything you do for us -from prayers, to donations, to gifts and beyond, really helps keep Gayle smiling, and helps us all hold Gayle's hand and heart on her way through this final journey.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.
Signed,
