Hi, my name is Laura, and I’m setting up this page for my husband, James Conradi — an amazing father to our son Harrison, and the centre of our world.

James has a rare auto-immune disease called PSC (primary Sclerosing Cholangitis) causing liver cirrhosis, and has now been diagnosed with a particular type of liver cancer.

We have recently been told that he urgently needs a liver transplant to survive.

However, we have found ourselves in a devastating situation.

Due to transplant criteria within the NHS, patients like James are not eligible for transplant if these particular cancer tumours exceed 2cm. James’s tumours, one of which measure just 0.4 millimetres beyond this threshold — a tiny difference, but one that currently places him outside eligibility.

Despite the incredible efforts and support of his NHS team at St Mary’s and the Royal Free Hospital, who will be appealing his case, we simply do not have the time to wait.

We have been advised by an NHS liver surgeon that, given how aggressive this cancer can be and how short our window is, our best chance to save James’s life is to travel abroad for a living donor liver transplant.

The incredible news is that several selfless people have already come forward offering to be living donors.

But the reality is — we now have to fund this ourselves.

This includes:

    •    Transplant surgery

    •    Donor surgery

    •    Hospital care

    •    Travel abroad

    •    Accommodation

    •    Post-operative treatment

And we need to organise this fast- within the next 2–3 weeks.

Without this transplant, we have been told James may only have months left.

With it, he could gain 20 more years of life.

Twenty more years as a father.

Twenty more years as a husband.

Twenty more years of memories, birthdays, laughter and love.

This is not experimental.

This is a recognised, life-saving operation that many established international overseas clinics perform.

We never imagined we would be in a position where we would have to ask for help like this.

But today, we are.

Because this is truly a matter of life or death.

Every donation — no matter how big or small — brings us closer to giving James the chance to live.

If you’re unable to donate, simply sharing this page could make all the difference.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for taking the time to read our story, and for any support you can give.

With love and hope,

Laura, James & Harrison ❤️
