It's impossible to miss the ravages of cancer when you see heartbreaking Facebook posts like Kate Colgan's.

Ever since her mother Janet was diagnosed with Stage 4 terminal stomach cancer last year, Kate has frantically searched for a medical miracle that would bring mom back from the brink. For Janet, that "miracle" could very well be immunotherapy, Unfortunately, this specialized, still-experimental treatment isn't covered under the UK's universal healthcare program so they're racing against the clock (and shrinking bank accounts) in Germany.

Kate's frustrated Facebook plea, however, hasn't gone unnoticed. Join the hundreds who've already pitched in on JustGiving and give this deserving mom a second chance at beating cancer!
