In August of 2004, Caroline was just 9 years old when she was hit in the arm with a skateboard while sitting on a skateboard ramp and within just hours her arm had ballooned and she'd been taken into Nottingham A&E with what our parents though was just a broken bone.
It turned out it wasn't a break, it was osteosarcoma - bone cancer. It didn't take long, literally days, for Caroline to start treatment and for the Chemo to be given.
By December, they were positive the chemo was working and took her to Birmingham Hospital to have the bit of bone removed and any remaining tumour. After having an x-ray on arrival, Caroline was told that as she had a cold they couldn't operate and that she could come back in a few weeks.
Just a couple of weeks later on boxing day 2004, we were in Professor Walker's office being told that she would have to have her arm amputated as the tumour hadn't shrunk enough to remove it.
Just days later, the day before New Years eve, Caroline went into Surgery back at Birmingham and had her arm amputated... within less than 24 hours she was home celebrating in the New Year!
Over the next 18 months, we repeatedly had the good news that the cancer had gone followed a few weeks/months later than it was back in various parts of her body - legs, spine or lungs.
By August 2006, after being rocked by the loss of other friends from hospital, our parents were told that options and time were running out.
We had one last birthday with her, one last Christmas and by April, our parents were told it was time to start planning for the last few weeks and on May 27th, 2007, we lost Caroline after her incredible battle.
Over the last few years Caroline's family and friends have been dedicated to raising vital funds in her memory.
From races and runs to bake sales and balls... they've done it all!
