Brig fights on

This is a hard thing to write about, especially when you are writing about 1 of your friends.
Our good friend Brig attended hospital over a year ago with a pain in her shoulder, which she believed was from over doing it on the dead lifts as she had just passed all her exams and was on her journey to becoming an incredible fitness instructor.
Brig gave 9 weeks in hospital where doctors couldnt figure out what was wrong. Then the horrific day came when Brig was diagnosed with hodgkins Lymphoma cancer, but Brig was brave and decided she was going to fight this head on. With the help of her family and friends she knew she could beat this.
Brig went through many treatments for 6 months, throughout she attended many scans to see the progress and with every result Brig took a blow that her tumours were not shrinking.
The doctors completed more tests on Brig to finally realised she had been mis diagnosed and was now labelled with non-hodgkins lymphoma cancer, another blow but our Brig was determined to fight on.
It has now unfortunatly come to a time where St.Vincents hospital (whom have been amazing) can offer no more but they believe in Brig like all of us and believe if she ventures to the UK that there will be hope for her treatments.
Brig dedicated herself to Rehabcare, Clonmel for 8 years supporting people with mental health issues and intellectual disabilities. We at rehabcare and all her friends and family now believe it is our turn to support her. We are setting up this page to try raise much needed funds for Brig to travel to the UK for treatment and also to send her to lourdes in September 2017.
So we ask people to give what they can as everything counts so we can get Brig to her 30th birthday and see our healthy and happy friend back again,
We thank everybody in advance ,
