<div>My names Marcus and I have been a community organiser and fundraiser for my community for over 15 years and I am reaching out to my community for help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My mum sadly passed away 2 weeks ago after a 3.5 year battle with stage 4 colon cancer. My mother fought that disease till the very end and we managed to have some amazing times together in the years since she got diagnosed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My whole world feels as if it has been ripped apart and I have a massive hole in my heart, me and my mum were very close and I know I won't be the same person without her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>One thing I want to say is if you or someone you know is feeling unwell for a long time and the doctors keep fobbing you off, be persist, get support and get a second opinion! Cancer deaths are preventable with all the incredible treatments if caught early! My mum should have been diagnosed earlier and this is a consistent problem especially if you are woman!
</div>
<div>We are fundraising to give my mum the best possible send off that we can. We are also fundraising to support my family through this very difficult period.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We would appreciate donations instead of flowers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any additional funding on top of our goal will go towards a memorial for Jackie.
