Leigh's Lifesaver
Donation protected
My sister Leigh is 46 years old. She was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 40 and fought that with chemotherapy, surgery and radiation. The cancer returned when she was 44, and is now in her liver and spine. For the past two years she has been treated with more chemotherapy and radiation, but in the last few months the disease has progressed rapidly. Her oncologist has now recommended a chemotherapy that is not yet approved for use in South Africa and consequently her health-insurance will not fund this treatment. Leigh has 14-year-old twin girls, Paige and Rae, with her husband Gareth, and they live in Durban, South Africa.
I have created this page to raise funds for the recommended treatment as quickly as possible, (before the disease progresses even more), in the hopes of saving my sister. Any help you can give with funding this treatment would be gratefully appreciated by Leigh and her whole family. Thank you for your compassion and generosity.
