Hi, my name is Joanna, and I am a mother of two, a wife, a daughter, a friend and a teacher at Hazelhead Outdoor Nursery. Until recently, you could find me painting, hiking, taking a cold plunge in the North Sea, meditating, and listening to podcasts in my little house while stroking my cat. Unfortunately, most of those activities I enjoyed so much only a few months ago are almost impossible for me right now due to my deteriorating health.

As some of you might already know, I have been diagnosed with Splenic marginal zone lymphoma. It is a rare type of lymphoma that develops in your spleen.

I need to take care of my body and mind in the best way possible to get back to normality, my family and the things I love. Monoclonal antibody drugs have left me weak. To help my body fight this illness, I've decided to look into alternative therapies that will help boost my overall health. Unfortunately, I do not have the funds to cover the total costs of those treatments, and I am asking all of you for help.

Any help is gratefully accepted.
