Nelson

Sue Jones, a remarkable woman whose strength, resilience, and boundless positivity have touched all our lives. Sue, a loving mother to 3 daughters and grandmother to 4 is an inspiring lady. Sue was diagnosed with melanoma 6 years ago, a battle she's facing with immense courage. Sue’s spirit remains unbroken, but her fight against this relentless disease requires a powerful weapon: BRAF treatment.

Sue's journey began in December 2017. Despite surgeries and treatments, the disease spread to her lungs, kidneys, neck, and brain, revealing her relentless fight. Now, her specialist recommends immediate BRAF treatment (Cobimetinib and Vemurafenib), groundbreaking therapy targeting genetic mutations.

Your Contribution Makes a Difference

The money we raise will be directly allocated to cover the costs of the medication. By contributing, you are not just giving financially; you are offering Sue the gift of time, hope, and the possibility of many more cherished moments with her family and friends.

Sue: A Beacon of Positivity

Despite life's challenges, including the tragic loss of her husband last year, Sue remains a pillar of strength, finding hope amidst adversity. Supporting Sue means investing in a woman who embodies the essence of life and love, a testament to the power of the human spirit.

Every dollar counts

Update from Sue's daughters  30 July 2024

Thank you for all the generous donations and best wishes for mums health. Mums tumours shrunk as a result of the medication but due to it impacting her renal function she has changed to a different combination of chemo drugs and is funding these instead. This change has only occurred in recent weeks and we hope that she will be able to tolerate these meds with good results. She is immune compromised as a result of the treatment and is currently in hospital recovering from influenza & pneumonia and is showing signs of improvement so will hopefully be home again soon. Thank you from Sue's daughters.
