Story
Kim and Chris Weekes are walking 60+ miles from Emsworth Harbour to Milford on Sea along the Solent coastal path on the 27th-28th May 2017, to raise money for our wonderful and inspirational friend Emma Bailey.
Emma is a beautiful, loving mother of three who was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma in 2012. Since, she and her family have been living bravely with her disease.
True to her personality, Emma has always maintained a positive attitude and faced her illness head on. She has embraced an alkaline diet, meditation, classes and has made it her business to know anything and everything there is to know about her condition. No amount of bad news or unpromising scans have deterred her from her mission to beat her melanoma for good.
On top of this, she has undertaken numerous painful surgeries, from lymph node removal to lung surgery.
Despite Emma's efforts, life has continued to put hurdles in the way of her path to health. A recent scan showed that the cancer has now spread throughout her lungs, liver and spine and is now inoperable.
But Emma's fight with cancer continues. Thanks to improved research, there are new melanoma treatments and therapies now available which are having very promising results. These, however, come at a huge cost. That's why her family and friends are trying to raise as much money as possible. For a truly amazing woman who is caring and loving to everybody around her; who is funny, brave and positive always; who never complains and tackles life and even Melanoma with the courage and strength most of us can only hope for.
No matter how big or little your contribution is, it will make a difference to Emma and her families life.
Thank you xx

7 years agoThank you to everyone who has so far donated both now and on the previous Just Giving page. We have so far raised (including our paper form) £507 but we would love to get to our target of £750. T shirts are now designed and ordered , we are really looking forward to it and will keep you all updated on Social media. Emma's recent treatment aimed at prolonging life comes with challenging side effects. This money is being used by Emma to minimise some of side effects with therapy not available on the NHS. Thank you for our hearts x
