Laura's Fight Cancer Fund
Donation protected
This is our best friend Laura who has been given just 2 years to live. Please help us to raise funds for treatment to save her life.
We have been friends with Laura for nearly 30 years. She is 34 years old and is mum to a beautiful baby girl, Maya (9 months). Laura is originally from Kilmovee, a small village in County Mayo, Ireland and now lives in Jersey with her husband Karl and their daughter Maya. Laura already suffers from MS but unfortunately in March of this year after undergoing tests, doctors found a cancerous tumour in her leg. Laura was later diagnosed with a form of cancer called Leiomyosarcoma. Living in Jersey means Laura, Karl and Maya have had to travel to Southampton for intensive chemotherapy treatment. Laura has just received the devastating news that the chemotherapy has not worked, the tumour in her leg has grown and the cancer has spread to her pelvis and her back. The doctors have said Laura has only 2 years to live , "if she is lucky " as there is no treatment now available to her on the NHS (despite their best efforts).
We need substantial fund raising to acquire specialist treatment to help give Laura, Karl and Maya a future together. It is becoming increasingly difficult for Karl to continue working full time, putting a huge financial burden on them - keeping up with rent, bills, looking after Maya, etc. Laura should have the best possible chance to fight this cancer however this will not be possible without financial support. Laura has a heart of gold and we know she would do the same for anyone who would find themselves in the same situation.
Please help us to help our best friend. If we can get this message to as many people as possible no matter how small a donation every penny will go towards supporting Laura, Karl & Maya in a situation that is beyond tragic and allow them hope of finding a future together.
