The Story:

We are reaching out to you with heavy hearts but determined spirits to ask for your help for my beloved big sister Sue. At 48 years old, Sue is facing the battle of her life, and she needs our collective strength, support, and generosity to get through it.

If you know Sue, you know she is the absolute life of any room she walks into. She is fiercely independent, incredibly kind, and—above all—absolutely hilarious. Her sharp wit, quick jokes, and brilliant sense of humour have a way of lifting everyone around her, even now, during the darkest chapter of her life.

Sue lives in Scotter and is a devoted single mum to three wonderful children. Her family has already endured unimaginable heartbreak; just 18 months ago, her youngest son tragically lost his father to cancer. Now, this fragile family is facing another devastating blow, and Sue is fighting with everything she has to stay right here with them.

For over a decade, Sue has brought that same warmth and infectious energy to her job as an early years teacher at a local primary school. She has spent years giving her all to our community's children, teaching them with endless patience, love, and no doubt a lot of laughter. Now, it’s our turn to give back to the woman who has brought so much joy to so many.

The Battle and The Hope

Five months ago, Sue was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She immediately began an intense course of Folfirinox chemotherapy, facing the grueling side effects with her trademark bravery. Devastatingly, a recent scan revealed that despite the chemo, the cancer has progressed.

Standard treatments are hitting a wall, but we refuse to give up hope. There is an advanced Histotripsy treatment available that targets liver tumours using specialized ultrasound technology. However, because this groundbreaking treatment is not currently available to Sue on the NHS, we have to fund it privately.

We urgently need to raise £40,000 to cover the cost of this specialized care and give my big sister Sue the chance she deserves to beat this disease.

How You Can Help

Sue is a proud single mum whose entire world revolves around her three kids. She needs to be here to watch them grow up, to navigate the big milestones with them, and to heal the heartache they’ve already suffered. The world needs her laughter, her school needs her passion, and her children need their mum.

Every single penny raised will go directly toward funding Sue’s Histotripsy treatment and supporting her family during this critical time.
