<div>In 2025, one of my oldest friends and favourite people, Lizzie, was diagnosed with a Glioblastoma - a rare, aggressive and incurable form of brain cancer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lizzie is 46. She is a much-loved teacher, mum to Felix (11) and Rowan (18), wife to Al, and a treasured friend to so many. She is the kind of person who has spent her life showing up for others - and now she needs us to show up for her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her diagnosis came completely out of the blue. Within months, Lizzie went from being a healthy, busy teacher and mum to facing the devastating reality of a terminal illness.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since then, she has endured awake brain surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and private treatment in London. Her journey was made even harder by an early misdiagnosis, yet through it all she has shown extraordinary strength and determination - always thinking of others, even while fighting for her own life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Although Glioblastoma is terminal, Lizzie has already defied expectations. Her response to treatment has been stronger than first predicted, and she remains determined to do everything possible to extend her life for as long as she can.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There are now no further treatment options available to her in the UK, either on the NHS, or privately.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>However, a specialist treatment is available in Germany: Adjuvant Individualised Multimodal Immunotherapy - a personalised approach designed to slow progression and help keep the disease at bay following the primary treatment Lizzie has already received.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is not a cure. But it offers the possibility of extending Lizzie’s life and preserving her quality of life for as long as possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To access this treatment urgently, Lizzie needs to raise £120,000 to cover the treatment itself, travel, accommodation, and essential living costs while in Germany.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After already raising funds for private treatment in London, the financial strain on the family is overwhelming. We are asking for your support to help Lizzie access this next stage of treatment - to give her the best possible chance of more birthdays, more ordinary days, and more time with the people who love her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any contribution, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful difference. If you are unable to donate, sharing this page, or organising your own fundraising event would mean so much.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lizzie and her family are deeply grateful for your support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you.
</div>
