All funds raised will go towards making Rose's last few months full of fun and special moments and memories for her friends and family.

Canterbury

My mum has always been one of those people who would give the shirt off her back for anyone in need. My dad is the same. I have seen them over the years never ask for help, but always helping others. Recently we have received some very sad news. My mum has liver cancer. This hideous disease has also taken the life of my wonderful nana, my aunty and my great aunt. This is a story we didn't want to see written again in our family. Due to my mum's cancer, there is nothing the medical specialists can do. We have been encouraged to spend as much time together as possible and enjoy each other. First on the agenda is a wee trip up north to visit family - with a couple of days in Wellington to go to Te Papa. Then, there are other activities we would love to do with mum, taking her grandchildren with her. Unfortunately we only have 3 or 4 months of time left.

My mum has recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. We have only a short period of time with her and while she is well we want to spoil her and create memories for our family.
