Ever wondered how someone survives countless health battles with a smile? I've been there. From a dark childhood to facing rare cancers, I've defied the odds.
In this honest memoir, I share my journey of overcoming adversity with humour and positivity. Discover how I've found strength in the face of challenges and turned every setback into a step forward.
I'm aiming raising £2100 to bring my book to life. This funding will cover the essential editing and publishing costs of my first batch of books.
Your support will not only help me share my story but also create lasting memories with my family during this precious time. Any profits from book sales will be dedicated to creating unforgettable experiences together and to leave a legacy for my two girls.
I will also make a donation of the proceeds to ‘The Cancer Club‘ and other well known leading cancer charities who have been so important to me.
Thank you for taking the time to read about my project.
