PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Rosie Jarman was a regular, fit and active 14-year-old teenager before she unexpectedly became unwell. She endured a gruelling 9 month's intensive cancer treatment following major open-heart surgery, with almost every side effect and complication associated with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation treatment. Rosie's experience and resilience provided her with an invaluable insight she wanted to use, to help others. She recorded her journey so she could support Medical Professionals to learn about her condition, and other young people going through cancer treatment. The sale of this book is to create awareness and raise funds for charity in accordance with Rosie's wishes.

Dr Kate Wright, Medical Director; There are moments when it really stops you in your tracks. Brave, generous and so clearly written. Rosie has created a legacy that will be so supportive to others undergoing such frightening and difficult treatments - and for those around them. Lynn Clausen, Educator.
