Laura's bucket list

This page is run by Laura's family to support Laura achieving her goals and living life to its fullest.

This is a place where friends, family, colleagues and supporters can pull funds together to help Laura seek alternative treatment and live out her bucket list.

At just 26 years old Laura was given the news that she has terminal cancer.

Laura refuses to be a statistic instead she is remaining positive and being an outlier.

Please support us to raise as much funds as possible so that the question of 'money' is never a reason why Laura can't complete her bucket list.

Below is a post from Laura's personal blog in her own words.

HALFWAY TO TERMINAL

May 9, 2017

Today we had one of the more frank discussions with my Oncologist. Originally we went in there to talk about going on a break from treatment *Yay* but things quickly turned to my prognosis and if there was any chance in the future of starting a family.

Essentially the answer is no. The likelihood of me being able to get pregnant is low and the likelihood of both is us being able to make it to full term is low.

Also what sort of life would that baby have. We would be bringing life into this world, however I may not be able to be apart of it.

It could even turn into, it’s me or the baby.

Is that fair on the baby to be raised with out a mother? For Jeremy to have to raise it by himself would be a hard task. And to have that constant reminder…

And my prognosis has not changed.

The average life expectancy of someone with my type of cancer is 1 to 2 years, and I am just about to hit the 1 year anniversary of my diagnosis. So based on averages I have a year left.

1 stinking year left.

But I’m going to be the outlier.

The one that doesn’t fit with what the average is. Who sticks out like a sore thumb and refuses to give up.

There’s nothing much else I can do except that!

And if I do have one year left, help me make a bucket list.

I’m only 27, have travelled a little but never really lived an exciting, adventure filled life.

I haven’t done an OE, I’ve only just brought my own car, I haven’t experienced any ‘Wonders of the World’

Help me to pack that into this last year, please?

At the top of my list:

– Get Married – Done

– Buy a house – Done

– Adopt fur babies – Done

– HONEYMOON!!! – In progress!!

Help me fill in the rest.
