- This is our only official fundraising page for Macey-Mai - 

Hello, my name is Katelyn and im a 23 year old mum of three beautiful children. I made this gofundme fundraising page back in may 2025 when my youngest daughter Macey-Mai was born with a really rare condition called Congenital Melanocytic Nevus, with her largest Nevus covering her entire back and around her sides with also over 100 smaller and medium sized CMNs all over her body including her face and head. CMN is a rare condition that only occurs is 1 in every 20,000 births most usually caused by a single genetic mutation that occurs during early fetal development. Unfortunately when I gave birth to Macey-Mai she was not only born with GCMN but had seven painful bleeding lesions growing rapidly on her largest CMN causing her to bleed daily and be in constant pain. Macey-Mai underwent surgery to have all seven lesions removed by specialist surgeons at Great Ormond Street Hospital after having all seven lesions removed each one was sent for a genetic test to see which gene mutation caused Macey to be born with GCMN and a biopsy was also done on each one to check for a rare from of melanoma associated with GCMN, unfortunately The biopsy taken on the lesions that were surgically removed shown the worst… melanoma was found within one of them. We are currently waiting on a PET scan to see if the melanoma has spread and is deep within other Parts of Macey-Mai’s body, Macey-Mai’s PET scan is due to take place on may 6th one day before her 1st birthday. When Macey-Mai was a few weeks old I created this GoFundMe to help raise money to be able to afford Travel to necessary healthcare appointments for crucial test, scans, treatments and needed surgeries nearly 300 miles away from our home, specialist equipment needed for Macey-Mai when she was born and also anything else Macey-Mai needs living with GCMN. In the last 10 months we have managed to raise over £20,000 which has helped massively to ensure Macey-Mai could attend continuous health care appointments in London helping to cover the cost of Travel expenses and everything needed while we are away attending crucial healthcare appointments not only this but donations have helped provide macey with everything absolutely necessary for her and her journey so far living with CMN. We have only just recently found out that when Macey attended for surgery to remove seven growing lesions from her GCMN, that the biopsy shown melanoma within one of them, Since being told these results we have decided to not only continue fundraise to be able to continue to attend every appointment needed for potential treatments, test, scans and check ups but we want to be able to make forever lasting amazing memories with our precious girl in between all these medical appointments to. we’re asking for your help to be able to also provide macey mai with beautiful days out so we’re able to make forever lasting memories with our precious little girl as a family in between healthcare appointments and treatments, we want nothing more than for our beautiful little girl to have the world but unfortunately with all the added financial pressures having a child born with GCMN can bring and the awful news of melanoma now to we are truly finding it extremely difficult to navigate everything on top of all the new added financial pressures we now face with even more regular hospital appointments nearly 300 miles away from our home, without the support from your donations none of this would’ve been possible and I cannot thank each and everyone who’s donated and supported Macey-Mai since day one enough. I really hope we can all continue to stand together as one to make the impossible possible for my sweet girl Macey-mai. Every donation helps to not only support all healthcare appointments but also helps towards making my little girls life that little bit happier by being able to have the opportunity to do amazing things together as a family and make forever lasting memories while battling through the hardest battle of our life’s. We’re are forever grateful for any shown support for Macey-Mai and our family. ✨Thank you Katelyn Macey-Mai’s Mummy ✨
