Fundraising page set up to help Harborough mum-of-four diagnosed with cancer passes £30,000 mark
A fundraising page set up to help a mum-of-four from Harborough whose cancer returned this year has passed the £30,000 mark.
Lucy Goodwin was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer in 2018, and after bravely fighting the illness, was told she was cancer free in 2020.
In November 2025 she started feeling ill again, and after being admitted to hospital for ten days in January 2026, her family were told the cancer had returned and had spread to the bones in her back.
Lucy is a single parent to four children and now on end-of-life care, and her eldest daughter Daisy, 21, set up a GoFundMe page in February in a bid to raise funds to enable the family to explore life-saving treatment for her mum.
The page has now surpassed the £30,000 mark, standing at £30,741 at the time of writing, and the money will be used to help the family explore private treatment options abroad, including specialist treatment in Mexico that is not currently available through the National Health Service.
Writing on the page, Daisy said: "Our hope is that this treatment could help prolong Mum’s life and give us more precious time together - time to make memories, time for her to see her children grow, and time for us to simply be a family."
The page has a target of £40,000, and in an update posted on the page on March 24 Daisy wrote: "From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to every single person who has donated, shared, and supported us along the way.
"Your kindness, generosity, and belief in this cause truly mean more than words can ever express.
"Every contribution, no matter the size, has made a real difference and brought us closer to where we need to be.
"It’s been amazing to see so many people come together and show such compassion and support. We couldn’t have done this without you.
"Please keep sharing our page, every share really does help us reach new people and move closer to our goal."
Alongside the fundraising page, Daisy and her friends are due to climb Mount Snowdon, with Daisy saying: "Every step we take up that mountain will be for her strength, her fight, and her unconditional love."
