The late Mike Colrein, who was connected to Lush Bakes & Cupcakes, tragically passed away recently. Mike, a father of six children aged 36, 32, 31, 16, 6, and 5, succumbed to an aggressive form of stage 4 cancer. Despite being told he had 3 to 7 months to live, his condition deteriorated rapidly due to complications that prevented him from undergoing chemotherapy.
On the day he was scheduled to start treatment, a scan revealed a vessel and a buildup of fluid next to his lung. Unfortunately, Mike’s health was too compromised to proceed with the necessary procedures to drain the fluid and remove the vessel. The cancer’s aggression led to a swift decline, and doctors informed the family that he had only 48 hours left to live. Mike passed away at the age of 51, surrounded by his loved ones.
Due to the sudden nature of his illness and passing, Mike had not made arrangements for his funeral. His children, led by Jade Colrein, have started a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for his funeral expenses, aiming to give him the send-off he deserves. As of now, the campaign has raised £30 of its £4,000 goal, with contributions from supporters like Gordon Johnson, Emma Dale, and Emma Smith.
On Facebook, the community has shown their support and shared their condolences. One of the many posts includes plans for raffles to help raise additional funds. Jade Colrein expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you x" to all who have donated and shared the fundraiser.
This heartbreaking situation underscores the importance of community support in times of crisis and the impact of unforeseen medical challenges on families.
