Story

This page is in memory of Carrie-Louise Robe.  I am sorry to say that beautiful, brave, Carrie, passed away at 4.00am on 25th February 2010.  She was 14, and suffered a rare form of cancer called T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.  Despite having a bone marrow transplant in 2007, she was told before Christmas she would have to endure more Chemo, have operations on her knees, and so much more. 

She battled to the end and went out smiling, every photo of her I saw had the same beaming smile!

Through it all she always thought of others before herself, never feeling sorry for herself, or allowing others to feel sorry for her.  To put this in perspective, for nearly half of her short life she suffered. Life stinks sometimes, it truly does. continued on our blog here: http://hlsps.blogspot.com/2010/01/slightly-different-follow-friday-blog.html

If you would like to support Carrie, I have set up this JustGiving page in her name in support of one of her chosen charities, Clic Sargent, with all money donated in Carrie’s name, in an effort to help other children and families suffering from cancer.
