If you received a link to this Just Giving page, it is because you are a friend of Helen’s and know that she is really poorly, but trying to keep strong and positive.

I'm trying to raise enough money for Helen to have a relaxing holiday abroad, soaking up the sunshine (she loves sunshine!) eating well and not having to do very much at all except hang out with her children, Micky, Daisy and Dylan. If not a holiday, then whatever she wants to spend it on to make things a bit easier.

I wish that I could wave a magic wand and make her better. I wish I had a huge excess of money to enable Helen to do the things she wants to with her family without thinking of money. I think I’m probably not the only friend/family member who thinks this.
So – that’s why I have started this. If 80 friends and family each put in £50, that's 4 grand right there. Some may be able to put in more, and some can afford perhaps £5. Any donation will be appreciated.

At the moment, this is a secret so please don't say anything. Helen may not even want to go away, or might not feel strong enough (and might kill me for doing this!) but having a sum of money to use however she wishes will take the pressure off and I think she could really do with that right now.
It's easy to donate and you can remain anonymous if you prefer, or leave her a nice message on the website - I'll be telling her sometime in June about the fundraiser, depending on how soon we hit the target.
Thank you for listening and I really hope you can get involved.
With very best wishes,
Catherine
