Fundraising for Kirsty to have more tomorrows

Donation protected
Help Kirsty be here for more tomorrows and the moments that matter

Kirsty is 42—and she is fighting to stay alive for her three young children.

In June 2023, at 25 weeks pregnant, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
She went through chemotherapy while carrying her baby, delivered safely at 36 weeks, and kept going through surgery and treatment with incredible strength and a sense of humour and personality that lights up every room.

But now, things have changed.


The cancer has progressed

Kirsty is living with secondary breast cancer.

It has spread to her bones, and there is now a new tumour in her supraclavicular lymph node.
Her cancer has also mutated—changing to HER2-positive, a more aggressive form that requires new treatment.

HER2-positive cancer also carries a higher risk of spreading to the brain—where treatment becomes even more complex.


✨ This is the moment that matters ✨

Kirsty is still well.
Still active. Still being mum.

But, she has had to quit work and move out of the family home, to help pay for future treatments not available on the NHS.

There is still a big window to act.

Right now, she urgently needs:

  • A PET scan to understand the full spread
  • A brain scan to rule out further progression
  • Advanced testing to unlock the best treatment options

Without this, doctors don’t yet have the full picture.


Why we’re asking for help

We need to move faster than the system allows.

We are raising funds to give Kirsty immediate access to:

  • Life-saving scans and diagnostics
  • Specialist opinions
  • Personalised, cutting-edge treatments (UK or abroad)
  • protocol that isn’t available on the NHS

These options could cost £50,000+.

But this isn’t just about money.

It’s about giving a mum more time with her children.


Please help if you can

Donate. Share. Spread the word.

Because this is about school runs, birthdays, and watching her children grow up.

If you think you can help running a charity event, please just let us know as the more help we can get to reach our goal, the better!

Thanks for reading and even if your contribution is tiny, it all helps.
