![FOR KATE ❤️ For those that know us or have followed us for a while, you will know that we are a local, family run business. During these challenging times we have spoken a lot about the importance of ‘supporting local’.
With this in mind I want to share a post written in the words of my oldest friend Emma. (We’ve been ‘muckers’ since we were 8yrs old. As friends go, she’s as good as it gets. As kids, we made up a formidable little foursome, hooning around a farm together making mischief......Me & my little sister Bridget and Emma & her little sister Kate)
If you can support this wonderful local family, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Georgie x
This is Kate’s story ❤️
@emmae01 For the last 18 months my younger sister Kate has been battling hard against cervical cancer. After enduring intense chemotherapy last year and a gruelling 10 hour operation, which subsequently left her without a right hip and completely bed bound, we received the devastating news just before Christmas that after all efforts the cancer had unfortunately spread further. At the beginning of January the doctors at the NHS informed us that sadly there was no further treatment that they could offer her. We are absolutely devastated that this awful disease is beating her especially as she has fought so hard. At the moment we are hoping that she can undergo private immunotherapy treatment which can hopefully start very soon and we pray that this will help fight against it.
Kate has 2 beautiful children in Lily & Rees and the thought of them growing up without their mummy is absolutely heartbreaking.
The company that Kate works for have been incredibly supportive and have kindly set up a funding page to help raise funds to support Lily & Rees in their future.
Kate has been so incredibly strong throughout, but cancer is so cruel for what it does to families and it’s so heartbreaking to see Kate, her husband Craig and Lily & Rees go through this awful time.
I would be so grateful for your support towards Lily & Rees’ future, it’s going to be so hard for them.
Emma xx
