Hope and Lucie's Port Lympne Dream

1/2/2013

 
Picture
Hope Cole is a bright and beautiful 8 year old girl who lives with her mum, dad and sister, Lucie. Hope was diagnosed with an inoperable tumour on her brain stem at the age of four and after 18 months of chemotherapy became deaf in one ear which meant the treatment had to be stopped. In 2011, the tumour returned and the chemotherapy began again but sadly Hope relapsed and is now starting a new course of chemotherapy every week for 12 months.

Hope's younger sister, Lucie, will be seven years old in March and, like Hope, is also a brave little star. Lucie has congenital myopathy and is dependant on oxygen for 24 hours daily. She is ventilated at night and fed through a tube which means she needs a nurse with her all the times. Hope and Lucie also had an older sister that sadly didn't survive this condition.

In 2011, during Hope's treatment, Lennox sent the family on a one week break to Shorefields in the New Forest to enjoy some quailty time together. You can see photos from their holiday by clicking 'read more' below. Now, two years later, the Cole family are desperate for another break and would like to take a trip to Port Lympne in Kent. Port Lympne is an exciting wildlife park offering days filled with discovery for the entire family. The park itself is set in 600 acres of beautiful land and houses over 650 rare and endangered animals. The entire two day experience, including accommodation, will be very expensive so, we are fundraising to help pay for this relaxing and unique two day experience for Hope and Lucie, including luxury on-site accommodation so that they don’t get too worn out with travel.

You can help Hope and Lucie's dreams come true by donating towards their appeal on JustGiving. Simple visit www.justgiving.com/hopeandlucie and make your donation by credit/debit card, or paypal. It's totally secure and we'll make sure that the Cole family receive every penny of your donation
