Sad passing of Kerry Briggs

[judy24]

Kerry sadly passed away on Sunday 13th November 2011 at 5pm. She had been diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer Two years previously.

During the two years Kerry researched her condition ruthlessly. She went to countless forums seeking support but ended up providing it for other people. When she entered into discussions about why there weren't any support groups for young women she then went and made sure one was set up. Kerry was involved with several charities surrounding the disease. Target was one of the ones particularly close to her heart due to the work they do to raise awareness and improve diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

Kerry never gave up, even at the end she was determined to prove everybody wrong. She was an intellegent, funny and vibrant women that will be sorely missed by all that knew her.

So sorry to hear that news. Thoughts go to Kerry's family and friends. There's so little we can say at times like these, but I hope that the positive, happy memories of Kerry will help all who knew her

I haven't been on this forum long, but since joining I have had words of comfort and support from everyone. I was not aware of Target - I am still newly diagnosed (within the last month) and am trying to find charities and networks that I can support. Target is now one of them. Thoughts go out to Kerry's family and friends. RIP. xxxx

Such sad news! I too had not heard of Target but it sounds very much the sort of organisation I have been looking for.

My sympathy to Kerry's family and friends.

So sorry to hear about Kerry. I didnt know her but she sounded a very positive person, and positivity does go a long way, I was diagnosed 9 years ago and have had a lot of treatments but being positive about each treatment gets me through.

Thoughts go to her family.

Our thoughts are with her Family and Friends at this sad time.

Thanks for letting us know.

I did not know Kerry but a woman dies every two hours of ovarian cancer in the UK...it is the truth we do not really discuss here.

We share our hopes and fears so it is hard to hear when this deadly disease takes another life...and our fears become reality. Every one of those women who dies is someone's Mother/Wife/Daughter/Sister and so Kerry, I wish your family comfort and happy memories at this sad time.

Love Lizzie
