Help give Anne more time

We are Fiona, Mary & Karen, and we're asking for help for our beautiful sister, Anne.

Anne is Wife to Warren, Mum to Heather & Sarah, and a loved Nana by her 2 grandkids. She has been diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of bowel cancer. We have now received the devastating news that without further treatment, her life may be measured in weeks.

The cancer has progressed to the point where Anne is struggling to eat, and the reality of what lies ahead without treatment is heartbreaking.

But we have been given hope.

Anne has been offered a combination treatment of Cetuximab and Encorafenib. It won’t cure her cancer, but if she responds well, it could give her significantly more time — potentially up to two years, while also giving her a better quality of life.

To us, that time would be priceless. More birthdays, Christmases, conversations, hugs and ordinary days together.

Unfortunately, the treatment is not funded and the estimated cost for the first year alone is around $150,000 — far beyond what Anne and our family can manage alone.

So, we are asking for your help to give Anne more quality time.

Every donation, no matter how small, will help give my sister the chance to receive this treatment. If you can’t donate, we understand and would appreciate if you could share Anne’s story.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us give Anne this chance.

Fiona, Mary, Karen & family xx
