Story
Hi my name is Kyle Forrest and I am 10 years old. I am growing my hair for princess trust so that I can help make a wig for a child who has lost their hair through illness.
I am also asking to help raise money for my mums best friend who I have know all my life. Kate has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. I want to help send her and her family on holiday abroad because she has never been and she has been through a horrible time and i want to do something special for them so that they will have memories that will last forever.
This is Kate’s story.......
Kate was diagnosed with breast cancer at 29 which she has surgery, radiotherapy and hormone treatment for.
She then was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer at age 31 in both her hips, femur, lower and mid spine and multiple ribs which she has bone injections for every month and more hormone treatment.
Then 6 months after, again at age 31 from a routine CT scan it showed multiple tumours in her liver which she has had 6 cycles of chemotherapy and lost her hair through the treatment.
UPDATE - Unfortunately the most recent chemo did not work and the cancer has continued to spread within Kate's liver. She's currently waiting to start yet another, newer chemo therapy which we're hoping can set back the cancer at least a little bit so she can enjoy a lovely holiday in the sun.

6 years agoSo unfortunately further to the last update Kate's chemo did not work and her cancer has now progressed to her lung. 😔 She is now on yet another course of chemo (now her 5th and 6th different ones) and of course she's still fighting onwards but they still really need our help. The window to go on this holiday would have been tight anyway but working with the treatments makes it even more challenging so it would be great if Kate and her family had the funds in place to be able to just go at short notice. Thank you all for your donations!
