Story

In loving memory of Rachel Dodds.

An adored daughter, granddaughter, sister, niece, cousin and cherished friend.  Rachel died on the 21 May 2013 shortly before her 30th birthday from a rare form of cancer - Peritoneal Mesothelioma.

Rachel was an amazing person so full of life and love for all of those around her.  A beautiful young woman with an infectious laugh and inspirational smile. 

All who knew Rachel knew her passion for life.  She was so courageous in her illness that we look to her courage to raise £10,000 in her memory, to fund research into peritoneal mesothelioma.  We hope that future sufferers will have a chance against this terrible disease that devastated our family, and took such a loved person from our life.

"Because of her smile she made life more beautiful"

Thank you to anyone who has donated or fundraised in memory of Rachel, we greatly appreciate your contributions and hope to have your continued support.

Love from Rachel's family xx
