Overview
- Rebecca Hind, a 39-year-old from Cumbria, England, was diagnosed with pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP), a rare cancer affecting one in a million people, in 2019.
- Her treatment included two major surgeries and eight rounds of chemotherapy, resulting in the removal of 13 internal organs and a stoma for daily survival.
- Despite her cancer being classified as incurable, Hind remains determined to live fully, participating in activities like surfing, hot air ballooning, and dog sledding.
- She is actively raising awareness and funds for PMP research, including participating in a 90km charity cycling event organized by Chris Hoy later this year.
- Hind's GoFundMe campaign has raised $1,800 for Pseudomyxoma Survivor, a patient-run charity supporting those affected by the rare cancer.
