<div>Dear friends, family and compassionate strangers,

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I am reaching out with a heart full of urgency and hope. My sister Cat - a loving mother, wife, daughter, sister and friend- has been diagnosed with <strong>Vipoma</strong>, an extremely rare and life-threatening form of neuroendocrine cancer and we need your help to get her the life saving treatment she needs.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>During her very many years of suffering she was diagnosed with an extremely rare form of neuroendocrine cancer in 2020. Since then she has undergone endless tests and procedures, has had a peg feed fitted, seen many different specialists at various UK hospitals, in addition to having to pay private in efforts to help in Sweden, non of which can no longer help. Also there is the fact that most ‘<em>conventional</em>’ treatments do not work on this type of cancer or cannot be offered in the UK.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Vipoma is aggressive and cruel. Treatment is complex and because this type of cancer is so rare ( <em>my sister’s specific case being one of the rarest in the UK</em>) - the best care lies outside of standard protocols and beyond what the NHS and other European professionals can help with. With this, we had hit a dead end.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The next and somewhat last resort is to get her to America! Due to the fact doctors are not able to definitively say whether this cancer is spreading and if so at what rate, this is making the need for treatment more urgent. With this- they are acting in the belief there is a high chance it will metastasise, alongside the pressing need for additional critical surgery for an aneurysm that has recently been discovered.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Doctors have recommended a combination of specialised treatments, advanced medications and life saving surgeries. But these come at a great cost…

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>We need to raise the money to cover</strong>:

</div>

<ul>

<li>Life-saving surgeries and medications

</li>

<li>Travel to ‘<em>Jupiter Medical Centre</em>’ in Florida, America where she will be under the ‘<em>Gastrointestinal Surgical Oncology Programme</em>’

</li>

<li>Hospital stays

</li>

<li>Cutting edge, advanced tests &amp; procedures

</li>

<li>Additional costs for readmission and recovery

</li>

</ul>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>My sister is the strongest person I know. Everyone who knows her truly adores her. She’s always been the first to help others- generous, kind and fiercely devoted to her three year old little boy. Now she’s in the fight of her life- not just for herself, but for her son, who needs his mom to tuck him in at night, hold him when he’s scared and be there for all the milestones yet to come.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>However this battle is too big to fight alone. It is with great reluctancy, our last and only option, that we are reaching out for help to get her the healthcare she needs.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>A few words from Cat about what the donations would mean to her and her family:</strong>

</div>

<div><em>” I never imagined I’d be writing this. I’m a mum to a beautiful three year old little boy who needs me and all I want is to be here to watch him grow up. I want to be the best mummy, wife, sister, daughter and friend I can be and to live a long life filled with love. </em>

</div>

<div><em>As a family, it’s so hard to ask for help, but we’ve reached a point where we truly need it. This journey has gone on far too long and now America is offering me a lifeline that the UK haven’t been able to, a chance I simply have to take.</em>

</div>

<div><em>I’m endlessly grateful for every donation, no matter how big or small. You’re not just giving money, you’re giving me hope and precious time. The chance to be here for my  little boy, to see him grow, laugh and live his life with his mum by his side.”</em>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Please, if you’re able, donate to help us give her a fighting chance.</strong> Every contribution, no matter the size, will go directly towards her treatment and care. And if you can’t donate, please share this campaign and raise awareness for Vipoma- it truly makes a difference.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thankyou from the bottom of our hearts for your support, love and prayers. Let’s stand together with her - for her, her little boy and her loved ones.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><em>With great indebtedness,</em>

</div>

<div>Cat’s sister, Charlotte xxx
