Hey everyone !!!XX

Hello to all friends, elders and youngsters, past and present, well, to anyone who has had the pleasure of being graced by Aislings beauty, spirit and love. I am her baby sister, and I love her with all of my heart. She has always given me her love and support through the happy and troubling times of my life. she never faltered in her strength of support, always giving me a rainbow to focus on in life, by listening with an open heart. I know how much she lit up the hearts of our late mam and dad, and how much she continues to do so for Rossa, Miriam and myself, always making us smile and laugh. When Aisling told me she had contracted breast cancer, I was terrified and frustrated by the idea of her getting sick and confronting her mortality at such a young age. I hope with everyone's help and support, she can find the time and space to fight, rest and recover from this sickness. I know that we all want to find a way to reach out to her and I hope that through this blog, people can stay in touch with Aisling and her progress.

I wanted to explain to all who visit that we have provided an option to support Aisling by donating money. I feel that Aisling would never want to put anyone in a position where they feel obliged to donate, so please feel free to show your support in any way that you wish. Simply knowing that she has lovely people out there wishing her well will boost her spirits and greatly enhance her sense of recovery. If you do feel that you would like to donate some money, click on the heart towards the top right of the page and you can do so through PayPal. Financial support would help her to pay for cancer specialists that are not included in her insurance and also help with the cost of recovery. I feel all this support will help her to focus on getting stronger, because when we are sick we all need to stop and rest so that all of our energy can be put towards recovery. Ais has been trying to fight this independently but if we can all pull together we can really help and change her situation in our own little ways. Thank you to everyone who wants to reach out to her in any way.
