For the past 10 years, Natalie Maskell (35 yrs), Mother of Jae Alissandra (11yrs) has been fighting breast Cancer. In July 2010 her doctors confirmed that the Cancer had spread to the lining of her brain (meningitis) and that she was on her final battle with the disease.

At this time Natalie is looking to raise funds for the Forster Suite at Lister Hospital, Stevenage, Herts and Sue Ryder Care, St John Hospice, Moggerhanger, Beds as over the years these two places and all their staff have given Natalie support and care which we know has kept her with us longer than we could have first ever imagined.

To help raise funds for these two great charities, Natalie is throwing a friends and family party 'Natalie's life Celebration' in September. We are asking for people to donate £1.50 per charity for each Adult that will be joining the party and just 75p per charity for children (of course you may donate more if you wish).

If you are not able to attend or if you wish just to support these great Cancer Charities in support of Natalie's Life Celebration you are able to make a donation online at the following links.

To help raise extra funds we will be holding an open book auction on the night. People can also email in their bid and the highest bid at 10PM on the night will be the winner.

The full list of auction items will be on the donation pages for you to bid on and you can place any bids if you are not at the event by emailing them to jason@jmaskell.net .

If you are interested in making a donation please go to either or both of the links above.

If you would like to offer an item for the auction please email jason@jmaskell.net

On a personal note, writing this about the strongest person I know who has been through so much without a thought of herself has been hard but not as hard as she has been through, I am so proud and amazed by my little sister and when the time comes I will miss you so much.

Can I take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time to read this information and if you help by making a donation or supplying a item for the auction you will be helping Natalie and many other like her, thank you
