This is a cause very close to our hearts.

We lost our beautiful Mum to Melanoma in January 2009.

                                                                   

Mum first faced her diagnosis back in 1994 with a mole appearing on the inside of her knee. After surgery to have the mole and cancer removed (it had spread down her leg) she went into remission and always maintained regular check ups annually.

14 years later in 2008, she got the bad news that the cancer had begun to grow again and was attacking fast.  

After major surgery, it had still continued spread to her lungs and within 5 months and a variety of unsuccessful treatments - the cancer had spread rapidly to other organs...and eventually to her brain.

Mum lost her fight surrounded by her loving family on January 10, 2009.

In order to continue research towards the effeftive treatment of Melanoma it would be amazing for us to assist in raising money towards this cause, this in turn may assist other individuals to recieve treatment for and survive such a vicious disease.  

Our mission is to spread the word that continual check ups are vital and essential, even years after you are in the clear. We advocate for children and young people to avoid the sun to prevent this horrible disease later in life.
