Claire-Anne Lytton hasn't added a story.
For those of you who don't know my mums story, it begins when she was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer in January 2015. She has since completed a course of treatment which included 9 cycles of grueling chemotherapy and a life-threatening operation, all with the courage and grace of what can only be described as superhero worthy! Her spirit and fight for life has never waived, not once, even when we received the news no one ever wants to hear. 'We are very sorry, there are no further treatments available ' - upon hearing those words, the world around you seems to stand still, a second becomes like a minute, a minute feels like an hour, and you are only aware of the hand you are holding tightly next to you. What do we do next? How do we just accept that? She wants to fight - That's when my best friend introduced me to LOVE, HOPE,TRUST, a truly amazing charity founded by Rachel Carrick, who herself has been in mum's shoes. Without this Trust we would of never found Cancer Options who have provided invaluable guidance on the treatment options available outside the NHS. It has given us Hope. However, it got me thinking, what would of happened if my family weren't able to support the treatment financially? What happens to the people that don't have this type of support or knowledge? Do they just give up and accept nothing can be done?
This was why I want to support Love Hope Trust, it was created to support people with cancer that require treatments not available through the NHS and that can't afford to pay themselves. The charity has already funded treatments for patients and with your donations, they can hopefully fund more. EVERYONE DESERVES THE BEST POSSIBLE CHANCE OF LIFE - cancer certainly does not discriminate!
Please help me support this charity by sponsoring me through my challenges - On the 9th July I am climbing Ben Nevis at night, setting off at 10pm just to make it a little more interesting! In October I have signed up for a 52 mile trek across the Sahara over two days, whilst I am reasonably fit I have never tested myself to such limits and I'm hoping some of my mums strength is in me - please sponsor me whatever you can and help the next family holding each other's hand tightly, let's give them the gift of HOPE.
31/07- the world is missing an inspirational, caring, loving mum who, unfortunately lost her fight with this appalling disease last week. In honour of her memory I am determined to meet her objective and raise enough money to give someone the gift of hope, please help me with her legacy and together let's hold the hands of strangers in the united fight against cancer.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart
