As some of you may know my beautiful Grace has mesothelioma which is a terminal cancer caused by eposure to asbestos clearly part of her past catching up with her. Since diagnosis i have been in touch with some support groups on mesiothelioma looking for support and answers but sadly there is not a lot of information out there. Because of this a lady who runs a group is going to write a piece on Grace so that others may learn from our experiences and she will not die in vain but give information to others. As part of this i have had Grace DNA tested as some dogs are more prone to this disease apparently and it will just add to the full picture. I won't get the results for at least a couple of weeks. I know we all love to guess what mix lurchers are and i thought it could maybe be an online game where people pay £1 to guess and the person nearest to the final results wins a prize. Not sure what the prize is though yet . It would be another way Grace could help those like her that have found themselves abandoned and unwanted through no fault of thier own . Let me know what you all think x

It's so dreadfully sad about Graces condition , but to raise a bit of cash like this is a brilliant idea Jacqui x
