PLEASE HELP
I never thought I’d make a post like this, but here I am.
My friend Kelly is 16 and has 2 years to live.
Kelly is an inspiring, artistic, clever and beautiful girl.
She has been diagnosed with Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) in October 2015. It’s a rare, aggressive cancer that usually begins in the abdomen. It’s so rare that only 20 adolescents in USA are diagnosed with it a year.
Our friend Kelly has been through 9 rounds of chemotherapy but the tumors are close to her liver. The operation is not possible in UK.
THERE IS HOPE.
There is hope in The University College Hospital @ London, The MSK @ New York and possibly Christies @ Manchester.
The surgery in USA is not covered by insurance and so we have to found it. We need you to help. We need £1million for this to happen. We have 80 days. We need help.

there’s a news article about her! (there are a few) http://www.kentonline.co.uk/dover/news/teen-with-rare-tumour-fundraising-96895/
kelly in her prom dress, she looked absolutely amazing
you know i try to keep this blog on-topic, but signal boost! this article was from june 2016 so this is still ongoing. please support if you can and reblog if you can’t!
Felt the need to signal boost this again. According to this update, the hospital has taken scans and confirmed that they can and will do the surgery, but the family is only at about 10% of their goal. Please give if you can, and share Kelly’s story if you can’t. I can’t imagine what it feels like to know something could save your life but also knowing that you can’t afford it. No one deserves to go through suffering like this. Let’s do what we can to see that Kelly won’t have to, either.
Guys, a reblog can make the difference.
halfway there
