Campaign Story
We would like to collect as much money as possible to send Joe, Sam and Mummy to Lapland. Vicky - aged 36 - has the BRCA1 gene. She has already endured chemo and surgery. Without this second round of chemo then Vicky's life expectancy is about 12 months. With chemo she has 4 or 5 years to spend with her boys now aged 4 and 2. She bravely chose the chemo path knowing what it entails having been through it all before. However, this time the surgery will be more radical and may leave her mobility compromised. We really would like her to have the opportunity to take her boys on holiday to places she cannot afford as a single mum. Any other money collected above the target will help with birthday and Christmas presents. Will you help to make some memories for the boys?
