Tumblr, I know you guys are great at signal boosting, so if you could give this one a go, I’d be forever grateful.
This is my lovely friend Lori, and she desperately needs to raise money. Here’s why:
Lori Murdock is 59, a mother-of-three who lives in Devon and has terminal cancer.
She has stage IV malignant melanoma and has been told by doctors there is no further treatment they can offer her, except the life saving treatment TILs (Tumour Infiltrating Lymphocytes).
TILs has had amazing results, with some patients being cancer-free for years after treatment, and dare I say it, cured of stage IV melanoma.
This promising treatment is available in the UK by means of a trial, however the NHS have withdrawn funding. Lori has been accepted for the treatment but the only way she can access it is to fund it herself. This treatment is not cheap, it costs £70,000.
Lori is desperately trying to raise the funds. She has used all her readily available money on surviving this far. Lori is a wonderful artist and is selling her paintings to fund raise. She has put her home up for sale, tried reducing the asking price, but it is not selling and she is running out of time.
Her treatment is scheduled to begin on 18th May, without the funds it will not go ahead.
People have been amazingly generous so far and she has managed to raise £40,000, but she has only 8 days left to reach £70,000. I would love to give this amazing woman another chance at life. Every £1 helps, or even a simple reblog would be greatly appreciated!
