Dedicated to the memory of Amanda Jorgensen

This site is a tribute to Amanda Jorgensen, who was born on May 13, 1968. She is much loved and will always be remembered.

My beautiful Mum was diagnosed with a complex, high-grade glioblastoma multiforme in January of this year. She was admitted to hospital having suffered from headaches, visual disturbances and a loss of appetite over a period of several months. The tumour also caused her to experience confusion and short-term memory loss which were very distressing for us all. After an operation intended to remove only a small part of the tumour for analysis, the surgeon informed us that there was absolutely no possibility of further treatment due to the malignancy and location of the tumour. Just a month later, on the 6th March 2018, she died at the Willen hospice in Milton Keynes, where we were able to spend those last precious days with her.

As a teacher of Art and a true creative, my Mum inspired and supported not only my brother and I, but so many young people during her 49 years of life. She was a graceful woman and a beacon of positivity despite all that she suffered, remaining dignified and maintaining her endearing sense of humour even in those last weeks of her life. Deeply saddened by our loss, my Dad, brother and I are hopeful that one day a cure can be found for this horribly cruel disease.
