Story
Cheryl and Mark Johnstone have been together for 15 years and married for just over 10, there's been years of fun times , yet some sad too . After marrying in 2006 , Mark and Cheryl started trying for a baby but sadly Cheryl was unable to conceive through medical problems when she was younger . After Investigations and IVF attempts Cheryl and Mark were told they couldn't have a baby due to Cheryl being menopausal caused by medications during IVF treatments . Sadness and heartbreak turned to happiness as Cheryl discovered she was pregnant naturally and gave birth to Scarlett in 2009 . Mark and Cheryl finally had their dream come true !!
In 2015 Mark discovered a lump under his tongue and like most of us , thought nothing of it , until his neck started to swell , after several tests , Mark was told he has Squamous Cell Cancer (mouth cancer ) . Mark has had all of his glands and lymph nodes removed on the Left side as well as tumour from under his tongue .
In January 2016 , Mark started 6 weeks of intensive chemotherapy and radiotherapy, it was tiring and extremely painful but Mark had to keep going for the sake of his Wife and Daughter . In March this year a gland on his right side started to swell and further tests were done but came back negative to everyone's relief , Fast forward to August 2016 , the gland started to swell again at an alarming rate , after months of worrying and many more tests /scans , the swelling was cancerous and had metastasised to his lungs . There is no longer a cure and Mark started chemo again in November 2016 to prolong his life . Mark has since stopped chemotherapy as he had a bad reaction just before Christmas and may be offered it again when the tumour starts growing but for now he wants to spend quality time with his family .
We would like to raise money to send this loving family on a holiday of a lifetime , to make everlasting memories together that will hold a special place in their hearts forever . Thank you for reading xxx
