Emma Cosgrove, from Cheadle, was diagnosed with a tumour in her leg aged just 12 and has undergone years of treatment.
But she has now been told the illness has returned and doctors are unable to treat it.
Refusing to let her illness stop her living her life, brave Emma has now written a bucket list.
And her biggest wish is to marry fiancé Dion Dunn, 18, who she has known since childhood.
The teen faces a race against time to fulfil her wish - but has been helped by friends, family, and even complete strangers who have already donated £7,000 to help her with the special day.
Emma, whose modest ambitions also include a Centre Parcs break with her dog Nala and a hotel trip to London to watch The Lion King, has been bowled over by the public’s generosity.
Emma says she been bowled over by the public’s support.
She told the Manchester Evening News :
“I want to say thank you to every single person who has shared and donated towards my go fund me page.
"I can’t even begin to explain how grateful I am and how much I appreciate every single donation.
“This means that I can make some amazing memories with all of my family and friends and I can’t wait to share photos with all of the people who have supported me over the past six years.”In the past five years, the 17-year-old has relapsed six times and undergone 18 operations to tackle tumours in her legs, lungs and ribs.
Before Christmas, Emma, along with her mum Cheryl and sister Danni were told the that her cancer had returned.
However, chemotherapy to treat this has failed and all doctors can do now is keep Emma comfortable.
But to help the teenager’s dreams come true, a family friend set up a Go Fund Me page which was soon flooded with offers of help.
Mum Cheryl, 45, says they have got several venues in mind – Bredbury Hall, Village Hotel and Waterside Hotel in Cheadle – and is applying to the Stalybridge-based charity Gift A Wedding to see if it can help make her daughter’s dream possible.
She added said:
“We’ve lived in Cheadle all our lives and Emma is loved by so many and this has really proved just how amazing she is.
“She’s touched so many hearts and now we have complete strangers donating huge amounts of people, people who don’t know us but want to make her dreams come true. "It’s mind-blowing.”

ReplyDeleteThis disease is very curable . by the stripes of Jesus Christ we are healed. Just a copy of Rhapsody Of Realities would change the life of any and cure any sickness. Doctors are limited but God isn't and He's word is forever . by Faith we can move mountain . By faith I pray total Healing be restored to anyone suffering from such ailment in the mighty name of Christ Jesus the true son of God and the soon coming messiah . believe and Say Amen so you'd be free . All you need is wrapped up in the word of God - Pastor Chris Oyakhilome PhD. God bless you . my name is prince and am a member of Christ Embassy Durumi Abuja . A place that gives your life a Meaning.

ReplyDeleteGOD CAN HELP HER, DEATH IS NOT AN PORTION
ReplyDeleteEyaaa sometimes there are conditions that beyond doctors, despite their advances in technology. May God improve her conditions and makes easy for the little girl.
ReplyDeleteAs a man thinks in his heart, so is he (Proverb 23:7).
ReplyDeleteWhatever we nurture in our mind comes to be except by God's intervention, why should we resign to fate like this as if God is no more in the affairs of men, we may choose to be blunt about life and its affairs but we should always consider in us what God can do too.
If does not take Christ Jesus anything to bring Lazarus back to life, when He was told not to bother that Lazarus would not have died if Christ has responded swiftly, yet He went ahead after four (4) days in the grave to call Him out
Let's learn to be positive even in the face of difficulty like the woman with the issue of blood in the bible that medically could not get help but faith sorted it for her, if only we can make Christ Jesus the last resort, and not resigned to fate.
God bless us all.
God will surprise all of us, He restore her & she will not die again.
