A dream for Sal

To give Sal something to look forward to on even the hardest days.

Auckland

Hi for those that don't know me my name is Sue and I am Sally-Ann's mum. Ever since Sal was little she has constantly had to battle health issues from living with chronic bowel disease to losing her leg. Despite all of this she has shown a great tenacity to keep getting back up. With one last lot of bowel surgery completed in Nov 2016 we thought finally her challenges are over.

Fast forward 12 months and that belief came crushing down. After having a persistent sore throat for several months the left side of her neck swelled up causing immense pain. Within a week we were told she had a tumour, it was cancer and there was a 50% chance we could beat this. She has spent the entire summer holidays having radiation and chemo.

What I would like is to set up something so at the end of all this she can have a long promised holiday with her little boy Logan and her partner Sarah. I know Sal already has some money set aside as they were already planning a small break these holidays. Let us make sure they get to go some where more amazing then what they had planned and for longer when she is well enough to go.

I have seen Sally struggle all her life and she has never really had much go her way.
