This site is dedicated to the memory of Jill Laraway.
My Mum Jill Laraway
My mum died at the age of 47
She battled with ovarian Cancer for 5 years!
She had lots and lots of treatment both here in the uk and in Canada, unfortunately she was taken from us in November 2007.
There isn't a day i don't think about my mum. I am an only child, and losing my mum has left me with a broken heart.
When my mum was diagnosed with ovarian cancer i didn't know a lot about the disease at the time but since this tragedy I have been spreading awareness and raising funds and I have managed to raise £5,491.24 with the help of family and friends.
Unfortunately I did have to put my fund raising on hold as I became ill my self,
I was 26 when my my mum passed away, my daughter was 2 at the time. One year on I was critical ill myself, I was 16wks pregnant when I was found to have a large tumour in my cervics and another in my right Node, which in short resulted in removing my unborn baby ( We buried him with my mum) they removed the tumour and gave me a hysterectomy and then I had radical treatment consisting of chemo and radiotherapy, luckily I am doing well and I am currently in remission 4yrs!
I would like to continue raising awareness and funds now that i am able and i would appreciate any donations if possible, I have signed up for the wigan 10K taking place on Sunday the 8th of September. If you would like to support me please do so
Thank you for reading my story xxx
