As you know our fabulous friend has had some not so fabulous news and is currently undergoing chemotherapy for the next little while.

Many of us were looking for somewhere to contribute towards anything Lizzie and her family need during this time, and give Lizzie a little breathing room to focus on what matters most: getting well.

Lizzie’s journey  17 May 2025

*A little backstory and update for those who may not be aware...

Lizzie has recently been diagnosed with a very aggressive type of cancer that rarely occurs in the place it has been found. So rare that there are only 20 other documented cases worldwide! That being said, treatment for this has not been so straightforward, and it has taken a variety of specialists to come up with and manage her ongoing treatment plan.

She has already undergone surgery, and had a rocky start with chemo. She has another surgery coming up, followed by more chemo and potentially some additional therapy depending on the outcome of the surgery.

Please donate and share to help relieve the financial pressure on Lizzie and Oscar with this long harrowing journey ahead.
