The Joan Ajose-Adeogun fund is being established in loving memory of Joan Ajose-Adeogun who sadly passed away from multiple myeloma on 11th September 2019. Her diagnosis of multiple myeloma was devastating and within months Joan had lost her ability to speak and walk, her brain function and was in unbearable pain.

Understanding the many challenges that patients and their families face, we (her family) are raising funds to support multiple myeloma patients.

Grants will be available to help improve the wellbeing of patients and their families and will cover some of the costs of:

• Home care
• Medical facility/care home fees
• Retreats and respite breaks for patients and their families
• Palliative care
• Psychological support and counselling for patients and families
• Brain stimulation therapy
• Treatment and medication
• Physiotherapy
• Transportation costs (for family members to visit patients and specialised transportation for patients)
• Equipment such as wheelchairs, stairlifts, healthcare beds
• Bathroom adaptions and other required home adaptations for patients
• Patient's utility bills
• Doctor's appointments
• Medical treatment aboard

Priority will be given to patients residing in St Kitts, Nevis, the British Virgin Islands, Trinidad and Tobago, Nigeria and Ghana, countries that were near and dear to Joan’s heart.
