Story
We are a family trying to get by and live with terminal cancer. Unfortunately, my husband was diagnosed with terminal carcinoid cancer when I was pregnant with our twins and our oldest child was 1. We were devastated by this news but have carried on because of our children. We are lucky in a way that although the cancer is stage 4 it's slow growing and he can undergo treatment to slow the progression of the tumours.However, he is exhausted most of the time and has a lot of pain which is difficult to treat as his liver is very diseased. So all we can do is manage this is by avoiding any activity and therefore living.
I want to raise this money for this all terrain chair so he can actually come out with his children to the park/beach/woods and not compromise his health. I feel like this awful disease is not only destroying our future but is also putting the present on hold. We are not creating any memories as a family as it's just work and paying bills. Financially a lottery win would be great so he could stop working and we could afford a house and holidays but that's just a dream!
Help if you can give him back some freedom from this disease it would mean the world to us and give us a chance to make memories.

I am just a mum trying to get by looking after our 4 yr old and 3 yr old twins and make my husband as comfortable and happy as possible. We just want to enjoy the free things in life like walking in the woods and fun on the beach but as a complete family.
