Please help support Tammy while she undergoes treatment to remove skin cancer from her face.

Tammy recently had surgery to remove a malignant skin cancer next to her nose. Unfortunately, during this surgery, they discovered more malignant cancer. Further surgeries have now been scheduled to remove the cancer and then repair her face with skin grafts. This will require four surgeries over nine weeks.

Tammy is our Masters hockey team goalie and manager. She is a lovely, giving person, spending hours organising behind the scenes, making sure the team has everything they need. She loves her hockey and being part of the team, often going the extra mile thinking of others.

When not playing hockey and working full time, Tammy is also the caregiver to her sick husband and mother to her young adult daughter. She supports the family financially and will not be able to work during the next few months while her surgeries take place. I am hoping to raise money to help Tammy during this time so that she doesn't feel the financial burden and stress.

Claire Powell's involvement (page creator)

I met Tammy through playing Masters hockey. She has played in many of my hockey teams as our team goalie and as our manager. I have known her for over five years.

Use of funds

The money raised will help towards paying rent, food, travel, power etc. Tammy won't be able to work during her cancer treatment and this money will help reduce the stress of financial worries.
