The “Dawn Hughes Wigs to Wishes Fund” has been set up to enable me to receive further treatment at an Oncology Clinic in Germany where they have had a high success rate in stopping the spread of Cancer in patients and giving them the best possible chance of remission. The Berkshire Cancer Centre have informed me that there is little chance of my Cancer going into remission with the treatment available in this country.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my website. I'd like to tell you a little bit about myself. I'm a wife and mother of 3 young children, Matthew 13, Ellie 10 and Freddie 6. I was first diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2001 at the age of 36. Following Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy, I was in remission until a chance MRI scan in Feb 2005 for an unrelated problem, detected that the Cancer had returned. I was then diagnosed with Secondary Breast Cancer. The likely prognosis given in February was 18 months to 5 years. I then had to undergo aggressive Chemotherapy, but following the results of a recent bone scan, it was found that the Cancer is still spreading. The treatment in Germany will cost thousands of pounds and for most people like myself, the opportunity for this is a dream. Many of my Family and Friends want to make this dream a reality and are making tremendous fund raising efforts, because without them, I would not be able to seek the treatment that I so obviously need and which is not being offered in this country.

Caversham AFC Christmas Donation

Steve received a phone call from Dave Renshaw of Caversham AFC saying that the football club which Ellie and Freddie are members, have decided that the money normally spent on Christmas cards and stamps this year be donated to a charity instead. The Executive Committee have therefore decided that the Club will donate the funds to Wigs to Wishes.

Dave came round with the cheque this evening. Wow! This is a very generous contribution and on behalf of myself, Steve, Matt, Ellie and Freddie, we are very grateful.

This has come at a very crucial time considering the results of my recent liver ultrasound and the possiblity of further treatment in Germany.

Thanks to everyone for all your recent donations.
