<div>Ross's story has already raised £200k+, thanks to you. Here's what your continued support makes possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The target amount covers Ross's BRAF treatment alongside his ongoing chemotherapy the baseline needed to keep this option open for at least a year.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Anything raised beyond that goes towards:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Extending the targeted medication.
</li>
<li>Supporting therapies and nutrition to help Ross get through advanced chemotherapy with the best possible quality of life.
</li>
<li>Skincare and body care to manage the painful rashes his new medication causes, plus other products and services that help him cope with the side effects and get through each day.
</li>
<li>Additional treatment options as they become possible (Ross's tumours need to shrink enough to make these viable) including cancer ablation, further surgery, and invitations to trials and meetings with teams across the country developing bowel cancer treatments.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Put simply, this funding is what allows Ross to keep going through the next twelve months. Treatment at this intensity touches every part of daily life, and "support" means the practical things that keep him standing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Right now, we cover our everyday living costs from our salaries. Ross has already reduced his working hours, and Matt is still working full time. But this is an unpredictable illness. If Ross's health deteriorates, or Matt needs to step back from work to care for him full time, we may need to use some of these funds to keep our lives stable through treatment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is a long fight, not a short one, and every pound beyond the target extends what we can do for Ross's future. If you have already given, thank you. If you are able to give again or share this page further, it directly extends Ross's options and his time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hi, my name is Matt and I am fundraising for my husband Ross.
</div>
<div>Just two months ago, Ross was a fit, healthy 43 year old, living life to the full. Nothing could have prepared Ross, or his friends and family, for how suddenly and devastatingly our lives were about to change.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After finding a lump on his neck and experiencing stomach pain, Ross was suddenly diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer. By the time it was discovered, the cancer had already spread from his bowel to his liver, lymph nodes, lung and spleen. Since then, everything has happened at such speed that we are still struggling to comprehend it.
</div>
<div>After going in for his stoma operation, a huge, life changing procedure, Ross was hoping to be home within a few days to recover and prepare to start chemotherapy. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. Due to the size of Ross's tumour in his bowel, the strain it had placed on his liver caused his bilirubin and liver function to become dangerously abnormal. At that point, Ross was told that chemotherapy was no longer possible and was told to consider end of life care.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>However, thanks to Ross's incredible strength, the outstanding surgical team at the hospital, and two more major procedures, Ross's bilirubin levels began to fall. After his bilirubin dropped from 290 to 130, his wonderful oncology team said it might be possible to attempt chemotherapy at 60% of the normal dose, but at great risk.
</div>
<div>Regardless of the honest warning that the chemotherapy itself could potentially kill him, Ross made the incredibly brave decision to go ahead and begin treatment. We are so incredibly grateful that he did.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ross made it through his first round of chemotherapy. His bilirubin continued to fall and his determination to keep fighting never changed. After four procedures, two blood infections, sepsis, and four long weeks in hospital, Ross started his second round of chemotherapy with his bilirubin levels almost back within the normal range, and he is still smiling.
</div>
<div>After further genetic testing, we found out that Ross's cancer carries a mutation called BRAF V600E that causes bowel cancer to behave particularly aggressively. But discovering this also opened the door to a new targeted treatment designed specifically for cancers with this mutation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A clinical trial called BREAKWATER examined the addition of two targeted cancer medicines, encorafenib and cetuximab, alongside chemotherapy for people with Ross's specific type of cancer. The results have given us genuine hope that combining these medicines with his chemotherapy could significantly improve how well his cancer responds, potentially increasing the odds from 40% to 70%.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ross, and all of us who love him, understand that no treatment can make promises. But we now have a treatment option that gives us hope. Our aim is that this combination can shrink Ross's tumours enough to make further treatment, and potentially surgery, possible, giving Ross the best opportunity for an extension of life. For the first time since his diagnosis, we have a glimmer of hope for a future beyond stage 4 cancer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ross's additional treatment is only available privately at this time, and could cost up to £9,000 a month. We do not have the time or resources to raise these funds alone, so we are asking for your help to give Ross the strongest possible chance: to access every available treatment, create new possibilities, and keep fighting for the future he deserves.
</div>
<div>Any donation, no matter the amount, will mean more to us than we can express. If you are unable to donate, sharing this page could be just as powerful and may help it reach someone who can.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for reading Ross's story, for standing beside us, and for helping us fight for his future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With all our love and gratitude, Matt, Ross and everyone who loves him x

Help Ross access critical cancer treatment

<div>Hello all! My name is Jasmine and I am a hardworking, loving mom of 2 boys (ages 5 and 9) and our baby girl yorkie Nori (who is almost 2 years old). Unfortunately, Nori had an unforeseen accident this past weekend and she now needs surgery to have her eye removed. My kids and I are so distraught over everything that has transpired in the last few days, it’s taking everything in me to even do something like this but my kids happiness means more than my pride. I have so many other things going on personally and financially (as I’m sure a lot of others do as well) but this emergency could not have come at a worse time. I feel so helpless like I can’t take care of one of my babies during such a rough time for her, like I failed as a dog mommy :/ I have taken her to the ER and the vet already, costing more than I can even afford and she is on many medications to keep her comfortable and antibiotics to prevent infection; but she needs this surgery ASAP as prolonging it can cause possible infection that can lead to her brain. This is my last option at the moment. I am kindly asking for any donations towards the surgery and her medical expenses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>NOTE: I have already tried CareCredit and Scratchpay, and borrowing from friends/family members. As I stated above this is truly my last option. Even if you cannot donate but know of any in-house vets that do payment plans or any non profits that may be able to help, I would greatly appreciate any info and assistance!
</div>

</div>
<div>Thank you :)

Help Nori Get Urgent Eye Surgery

<div>Dear Community,

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We are Jason’s mother and step-father, and we are reaching out through this GoFundMe campaign because <strong>we believe that justice has not been served in Jason’s case</strong>. We are deeply concerned about the manner in which his case was handled by the Winchester and Frederick County police departments, and we fear that critical aspects were not thoroughly investigated.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Jason, a vibrant and athletic 19-year-old who regularly attended the gym and participated in boxing, was found hanging upside down in a tree with a V-shaped formation. The cause of his death has been listed as “undetermined,” but we strongly believe that foul play may have been involved. Given his physical health and strength, we do not accept the notion that he simply got “stuck” and succumbed to hypothermia. Additionally, Jason sustained a fracture to the back of his skull, further heightening our suspicions.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Tragically, Jason’s brother, Korey Platt, took his own life seven months prior due to bullying at his army base in Lacey, Washington—a loss that deeply affected Jason.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>On December 13th, Jason took an excessive amount of Adderall, left home, and crashed his vehicle. He subsequently hijacked another car, driving it south towards Winchester, where it eventually crashed on Star Tannery Road. Despite an extensive search, his body was not found until April 29th, approximately 1,251 feet from the crash site.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The first official search led by the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office took place on January 3rd, a full three weeks after Jason went missing. However, the search covered only a 25% radius from the crash site, and notably, the search area was conducted to the left of where his vehicle was found. We believe that a more comprehensive search would have resulted in our son being found sooner. On the night of his disappearance, search dogs lost Jason’s scent in the middle of a field; his body was later discovered mere yards away from that very field. Throughout this time, the police repeatedly assured us that they believed Jason had left the area, as they suspected he had gotten a ride. Additionally, the back of his car was severely dented, raising concerns that he may have been struck from behind—yet to this day, we have no answers about who might have hit his car.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>We are desperate to understand what transpired from the time of Jason’s car crash until the moment he was found in the tree. Although Jason’s case is currently closed, we are determined to have it reopened and properly investigated. We are seeking to hire a private investigator and an attorney to ensure a thorough review of the circumstances surrounding his death.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The police report mentions that a woman delivering mail observed Jason and the allegedly stolen vehicle being chased by a property owner, who called 911, stating that “he was armed and wasn’t scared.” This, among other details, raises significant red flags for us.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We love our son dearly, and he deserves justice. Please consider supporting our effort to uncover the truth and hold those responsible accountable.

</div>

<div>Thank you for your support.

Justice for Jason: Help Reopen His Case

<div>Hi, I’m Sara. It has been a very difficult few years. I’ve had a few personal setbacks these last years that have put me on the road I’m currently on.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Most recently, I was assaulted by a man I loved and put my trust into. I moved to New York City to make a life together. And then it all blew up in my face. I am down to my last $138 and am stuck living with a man who is unsafe and unkind. I need to move out ASAP. I have a job and some regular income streams that should pick up in the next couple of months. Until then, I need some help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I need to pay for a place to live, utilities, food, and transportation to work.  I think $3000 will cover me with a bit of breathing room.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I get that this comes at the worst kind of time for most folks—everyone is struggling. So I understand if you can’t help. Really, just sharing this or even saying a small prayer for me would help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thanks!
</div>
<div>Sara
