My Travel Story

by: caitlin rose Start Date: Oct 23, 2025 - End Date: Apr 22, 2026
After seven long years apart, my family and I were finally able to visit my grandparents in the UK last Christmas. It was an emotional reunion filled with love and memories, but shortly after we returned home, my granddad was diagnosed with bowel cancer. Since then, he has undergone multiple rounds of chemotherapy and surgeries and is now waiting to begin another round of treatment. My mum and little brother will be visiting him in April, but I recently had major surgery myself and have been unable to work, making it difficult to save for flights. My dream is to return next Christmas (2026) to surprise my granddad and spend precious time with him while I can. Any support would mean the world and help make this reunion possible.
