The Charity

How it started

Jessica Robson was diagnosed with alveolar sarcoma cancer on the 1st of November 2010 aged 14 after finding a slight lump in her right thigh on a holiday in August the same year.  Jessica started her first lot of chemotherapy treatment and she later had an operation to have the tumour removed, resulting in needing the use of a wheelchair.  After the operation Jessica had both chemotherapy and radiotherapy to ensure any cancerous cells remaining were destroyed.

Unfortunately further scans found shadows in Jessica’s chest, which resulted in further treatment.  However none of the chemotherapy Jessica underwent was successful.

What we do

“Lets help kick cancer into touch”

We Nicole and her parents have continued the fund raising and fulfilled Jess’s Dream By raising enough money to build a 3 bedroom holiday Lodge in Henshaw Northumberland so families in the same situation we were in can come along and have a free holiday to create beautiful memories together.

Jessica’s especially loved when presents were brought in for the other children during Christmas and Easter.  Jessica was smiling right to the end, determined not to let her disease get the better of her.  Jessica’s Sarcoma Awareness aims to help other children fighting cancer to do the same!
