An incredibly sad story needs your help!

[Vix176]

HI there,

I'm trying to tell the story of my very good friend Penny Edwards. Penny and her partner Joe lost their 4 month old baby, Billy, to cot death on the 2nd February this year. Penny lost a lot of weight and went to the doctors who sent her away and put it down to grief. She then found a lump in her neck. In late April, a month after losing her baby, Penny was diagnosed with Stage 4 Metastatic Melanoma. To say that no person deserves two such awful tragedies is an understatement. Pen's friends have been amazing and set up a website to tell her story and raise money, //www.pennysfriends.com. Several people are running Iron Man's and marathons and using Facebook to make people aware. We also just heard last week that Penny's specialist has recommeded a new treatment available abroad, called Dendritic Cell Therapy //www.dendritic.info but it costs a lot of money. Her friends are now thinking how we can raise more money in order to reach the target. Penny already has a 10 year old daughter and a step mum to her partners two girls. I'm hoping my putting this on Mum's net we can help a fellow Mum.

Thank you for taking the time to read Pen's story.
