On Wednesday 6th January The Tanya’s Courage Trust were given some very bad news. At 02:00, Rosie Howis from Penzance sadly passed away.
Rosie was 16 and had been battling Cancer since she was 10. She was so very brave and everyone you ask will say she was an inspiration to anyone, she fought this illness with such bravery and determination that it wasn’t going to get the best of her, and she always had the biggest smile on her face you could imagine.
On the night she passed all she wished for was for it to snow, and she got her wish and peacefully passed when the snow stopped falling at 2am.
We also had the tragic news that at 14:25 Shaun Fisher of St Austell had sadly lost his battle with Cancer as well.
Shaun Fisher, 18 had Leukaemia and had been fighting it for 2 years. He recently went to Bristol to undergo a Bone Marrow Transplant which unfortunately was not successful.
Shaun was a loving brother and Son to the Fisher family, and loved nothing more than taking part or watching banger racing. He loved cars and especially loved Grenada’s. Friends and Family had rallied around for him to have his wish fulfilled and gave him a Grenada, which has been spray painted in Tanya’s Courage colours as a memorial to Shaun for his Dad to use for upcoming races.
Both families have put their heart and soul into fighting this illness with their children and this has put massive financial strains on them so Tanya’s Courage Trust are covering the full costs of both funerals. The Billing family who set the charity up in August 2005, had to sell their family car to pay for Tanya’s funeral in April 2005. They simply do not want this to happen to any of the families that they support.
Obviously funerals are not cheap, and they average around £2,500.00, so The Tanya’s Courage Trust are appealing to anyone who maybe able to spare a few pounds to help us help these families at such a tragic and difficult time in their lives. They are not asking for much, even if you donate £1.00 it all helps.
If anyone would like to donate please press the Donate Now button at the top of the page or you can send a cheque made payable to Tanyas Courage to the address shown on our Get In Touch page.

Unfortunately yesterday, 6th January 2010, was a terrible day for a lot of people in Cornwall. We had the terrible news that 2 of our beneficiaries had sadly lost their fight to this terrible illness.
We are paying for the two funerals, as we do not want the families to have to struggle to pay for them theirselves. It is a sad enough time for them without worrying about how to afford their childs funeral expenses.
Unfortunately when Tanya died the family had to sell their family car to pay for the funeral costs, and we do not want that to happen to any of these families.
We are appealing for any donations from anyone able to spare a few pounds to help us raise enough to cover the costs for these two funerals, please if you can spare anything we would be so very grateful.
If you are able to help us please click the Donate Now button at the top of this page.
We appreciate all the support that has already been given and thank you to those who are donating, we really do appreciate it.

The Fisher family have been given the terrible news that Shaun, 18, is losing his extremely brave battle against Cancer.
The Tanya’s Courage Trust are running a very special mini appeal to support Shauns family at this very difficult time. We are supporting the family by raising funds to hopefully pay the full cost of Shauns funeral when the time comes. Unfortunately funerals are not cheap, and if your child is over 12 you do not receive any help with costs, but obviously you would want to give your child the best send off possible, so thats what we are doing for this family.
Please support this very worthwhile appeal by either making a donation online or perhaps holding a fundraising event for us. Or if you would like to call us to find out how you can help with this appeal please go to our Get In Touch page where you will find our contact details.

We just wanted to express our thanks to all of those who have supported us over the last year, we have had some up’s and we have had some downs, but we keep going and doing all we can to support our young people suffering with such a terrible illness. Without the support from our volunteers and the local Cornish community we would not be able to do half as much as we do, so please remember how much we all appreciate your hard work and support.
We have a very busy year ahead of us and are very excited about the things we have lined up for 2010, so please watch this space.
And remember, Cancer doesn’t give up and neither do we!!!
We hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
