I’ve set up this page for my sister Amy, who’s recently been diagnosed with advanced bowel cancer. It’s been a huge shock, and life has changed for her and our family overnight.

The optimal treatment for this very specific type of cancer is not available on the NHS. Amy has begun chemotherapy through the NHS and costly targeted therapies, which she needs to self-fund.

After speaking with specialists and looking into all possible options, with great sadness Amy and her husband Lee have made the difficult decision to pack up their life and career they have built in London and relocate to Australia. There she will have access to more treatment options for this specific type of bowel cancer, and to be closer to family at this extremely difficult time.

Her treatment in Australia is not fully funded on the public system either, so will also need to be self-funded. We are raising funds to help them with the cost of Amy's medical expenses, unexpectedly and urgently relocating to Australia, and living expenses while Amy undergoes what is expected to be a long ongoing treatment.

We have set up this page to ask for support and help from all those that know and love Amy, to provide a small amount of peace of mind as she embarks on this journey. We have set an ambitious target in the hope that we can go some way to alleviate some of the extra burden.

If you’re able to help, whether it’s through a donation or simply sharing this page with other friends or colleagues of Amy - it would mean the world to all of us.

Thank you so much for being part of her support network.
