Story
I am writing to ask for support. Support my sister Holly with her battle with breast cancer. Holly is 27 and has developed an agressive form of cancer doubling size in just 2 weeks. Holly is a strong positive woman with who is taking this really well but the battle is only just beginning. Holly has a young family of 2 little ones that will help motivate her to stay strong.
I along with my brothers will be there for Holly doing anything we can, we have organised a fun run to help support and coffee mornings so far.
The cost of helping someone through this terrible time is more costly than one may think. Holly is about to undergo chemotherapy and is likely to lose her hair, she will then have both breasts removed/ reconsructed.
I aim to raise as much as possible to help relieve the financial strains of purchasing some cancer items such as a real hair wig which alone can cost £1500. Bras and padding after surgery are £30 a go and i am sure there will be more to follow. So i ask that you help with what ever you can and i can only thank you in advance for your support. Any thing above and beyond raised will be given to mcmillan in support of anyone else unfortunate in future.
Join me in wishing Holly good luck and to stay strong as i hope you will all join me in supporting Holly moving forward.

7 years agoIt's been a few weeks since the last update and for this I apologise. Thank you to everyone for supporting Holly its been amazing seeing all the donations that will help her through this bad time. Holly is 2 Chemo sessions down and had a rough ride to say the least but has remained as positive as anyone can be, Holly showing strength and her stubbornis. But hopefully thats 1/3 of her battle done. Words cant express the gratitude towards everyone doing there part in anyway they can so once again thank you.
