Story
Hello All,
19th May 2018
I hope you are all well. As most of you will be aware, sadly Emma lost her battle with cancer on Friday 18th May 2018 after a very courageous fight. Please take a read below about what we were aiming for and please be assured that I will continue to raise funds for Millie and family to travel to Florida as Emma would have wished. Words can't describe how much we will miss her and how much she has touched our hearts.
Much love and thank you for reading.

Asking for help isn't something I like to do, but i'm looking to fundraise for my beautiful friend Emma Kennedy. Emma was diagnosed with Secondary Breast Cancer at the end of last year , which came as a huge shock to all. The last 18 months have had their ups and downs and Emma is now going through full brain radiation to try and keep this horrific disease at bay so she can make some memories with her beautiful daughter Millie who was just four years old when Emma was diagnosed.
After talking to Em about my wish to fundraise and everyone's wish to help, we decided that although I would love to support all the great charities out there, its my friend who really needs some support right now to do some fun stuff with Millie. Emma's goal is to take Millie to Disney in Florida and as a single Mum this isn't going to be easy to achieve financially and it's these goals that are keeping her going right now.
I'm starting my quest by walking/crawling up Mount Snowdon on the 20th May with 101 dalmatians (friends actually) all supporting different charities and then I'll be looking at other stuff to do to raise further funds for Em & Millie and their trip to Florida!
As I mentioned, many of you have been asking how you can help and this is currently something that would really put a smile on Em's facel! So please dig deep my lovely friends and family as this is a great cause and one very close to my heart.
Check ya bits!
Love Jo & Em xxx

5 years agoHello, Hope you are well. Quick update, I have now transferred most of Millie & Emma's funds to Gez (her lovely Dad) so he can book their trip to Florida for the end of May 2020! Photos to follow! Apparently Millie is a great athlete and is excelling in sprinting & gymnastics. She carries a photo album of Emma where ever she goes and they talk about Emma every day. I for one love how much she looks like Em! Thank you again for your generosity! Merry Christmas one & all. Big love from me, Joanne
