Doctors had diagnosed 17-yr-old Emma Cosgrove from Cheadle with a tumor in her leg when she was 12 and had undergone numerous treatments in five years.
She was recently told her illness had returned and doctors are unable to treat it.

“I want to say thank you to every single person who has shared and donated towards my go fund me page.

“This means that I can make some amazing memories with all of my family and friends and I can’t wait to share photos with all of the people who have supported me over the past six years,” She told the Manchester Evening News.
