Help Nic Dartnell Fight Cancer

Hi Everyone

We are coming together for a cause that's important to us. Nic Dartnell, a friend and colleague, is facing a courageous battle against cancer. Nic was diagnosed with bowel cancer that has spread to her liver and para-aortic node. The news was tough to hear, but Nic's resilience remains unshaken. With your support, we can assist her on this challenging journey.

**The Power of Hope and Second Opinions:**

After a challenging diagnosis, Nic sought a second opinion from a leading consultant in London. The consultant's determination to help Nic brought a ray of hope. They recommended a potentially life-changing procedure: a liquid biopsy. This procedure, not available on the NHS, could cost £4000 but offers the possibility of finding more treatment options.

**What is a Liquid Biopsy?**

A liquid biopsy is a remarkable medical advancement in the fight against cancer. It involves a simple blood test that detects cancer cells or circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in the bloodstream. When cancer cells die and break down, they release this ctDNA, providing crucial insights into the disease's progression. It's a non-invasive way to monitor and explore potential treatment avenues for cancer.

**Our Mission: Raise £4000 for Nic's Liquid Biopsy:**

We are reaching out to you, our friends and colleagues who care about Nic's well-being. Our goal is to raise £4000 to cover the cost of this potentially life-changing liquid biopsy. With your generous contributions, we can offer Nic more treatment options to explore in her battle against cancer.

**Adding Some Laughter to the Mix:**

As an added incentive, if we reach our fundraising target of £4000, Nic's husband, Dave Dartnell, has agreed he will spend a day dressed as a clown with full makeup! Dave is ready to go the extra mile to support his wife's battle against cancer and bring some joy to everyone's lives.

**Top Donor Bonus:**

To sweeten the deal further, the person who donates the highest amount to our cause will have the unique opportunity to gently place a custard pie right on Dave's clownish face. It's all in good fun, and a fantastic way to show your support while adding some humor to this journey.

Dave may or may not have agreed to do this....
