BBC Radio Lancashire<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n“The NHS has been amazing but when it comes to a point where that’s finished, I can’t imagine people just walking out and thinking that is it.<\/p>\n
“You’ve got to keep going and keep fighting for it. You can’t give in.”<\/p>\n
However, with the huge cost of the overseas treatment to pay for, Gary came up with the idea of putting their \u00a3800,000 four bedroom home in Roughlee up as a raffle prize via a website which hosts raffles.<\/p>\n
Claire originally thought the idea was “absolutely crazy” but has decided to give it a shot.<\/p>\n
“Having looked into it in great detail now, it’s worth a try,” she said.<\/p>\n
“I don’t think we will sell enough tickets maybe to get the house involved but people get a cash alternative,” she said.<\/p>\n
“If we don’t sell enough tickets to give the house away people get a cash alternative,” she said.<\/p>\n
Gary said: “If it doesn’t hit the ticket sales of what is needed to involve the house then they will still draw an automated winner. <\/p>\n
“The winners gets 50% and we retain 40% [to raise funds for the treatment in Germany].” <\/p>\n
The platform, which will run the raffle in the coming weeks, will keep 10%. <\/p>\n
Claire, who said they were “really positive”, added: “You’ve got to try things.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A mother-of-two with a brain tumour is preparing to raffle off her own family home to fund potentially…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":281352,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[78],"tags":[18,135,19,17],"class_list":{"0":"post-281351","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-health","8":"tag-eire","9":"tag-health","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-ireland"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115884042688153152","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281351","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=281351"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281351\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/281352"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=281351"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=281351"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=281351"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
