Please Help Us Give Jo More Time! ......

Let her kids grow up with their fantastic mum in their lives!

Our amazing, kind, caring, gorgeous friend Jo needs your help!! Jo is a single mum of 2 wonderful children who have all had their lives turned upside down!

At the end of last year Jo received the devastating news that she has bowel cancer and that it had spread to her liver and some lymph nodes! She was told she would have to start chemo, lose her hair, feel terribly ill and all the awful emotional and physical side effects that come with this. But then just a few weeks later came the unthinkable heart-breaking news that this wasn’t a battle to save her life, just to prolong it.

How do you deal with news like that, how do you break that news to your children, your family, your friends, it’s unimaginable!

Jo has left us speechless with her strength and courage, she has been thoroughly amazing! She has taken an aggressive chemo option to try to extend the time she can have as much as possible, which has been so incredibly tough going for her. Scans initially showed that the tumours had started to shrink with the chemo, but unbelievably a recent scan has confirmed the worst news, that the chemo is no longer working for her and has in fact allowed her liver tumours to grow. So our precious friend and her wonderful family are absolutely going through the mill!

Jo is the most private and humble person, who under normal circumstances would never want any attention on her. We are determined she should have the treatment that she deserves and that will give her the best fighting chance of more time.

So we are asking, please help us help her…….

A private consultant who has expertise in bowel cancer has suggested a treatment option called SIRT (radiotherapy direct to the liver) along with bowel surgery to give the best chance of saving or at least prolonging her life for as long as possible, but obviously this comes at a price….wouldn’t any one of us do whatever we could to make more memories?

Time really is of the essence, so we would be so grateful if you could please share this on every social media site you are on, to get this to as many people as possible. If 7,000 people donated just £3 each, we would raise enough to at least get her started on this treatment (for the price of a coffee out, you could instead be helping to save someone’s life). We totally understand that not everyone is able to donate, but if we could please ask that you share this with everyone you know, we would really appreciate anything at all you can do to help.

Thank you so much.
