A Bristol family has appealed for help for mum of two, Leanne Williams, who has bravely fought an incredibly long five year battle with leukaemia. She now has one last option with a clinical trial at King’s College Hospital in London, but needs support with accommodation during that time as she will be an outpatient during treatment.
Her brother-in-law Tim Clark who launched the GoFundMe page last week to raise funds for her stay in London, describes Leanne as “a kind, fun-loving and unbelievably positive mother, sister and daughter who has gone through a heart-breaking journey over the past five years”.
With a goal of £7,500 to fund her London stay and just over £5,000 being raised in the first two days, speaking from Bristol Oncology Hospital, Leanne said: “The thought of being away from home and doing this without my family has made this journey much more frightening than the thought of being on a clinical trial”. In a message to everyone who has donated so far, she said: "It's been very overwhelming and so amazing that so many people actually care. I am feeling so much love, you are helping more than you know.”
