🚨🫶❤️ Long Post Alert! Please Take 5 Minutes To Read I Know A Lot Of My Lovely Clients Could Help This Little Rev Head Fulfil Some Of Her Bucket List Dreams ❤️🫶🚨 Rev Comps
See her story below…
Amber is an 8 years old little girl and sadly has a terminal medulloblastoma cancerous brain tumour 😢
Back in May 2021, long time Rev Head Jon Sheehy won a Mini Cooper from us.
At the time he said it would bring some smiles to his family as they were going through a tough time due to their little girl Amber having cancer, with money tight, the win was a help and it brought a much needed uplift to their situation.
Fast forward a year and we get a message from Jon with an update on amber.
I reached out, as a dad myself … the thought of my little girl (and family) going through what they’re going through was soul destroying so offered an ear and someone to talk to if he needed it.
After some back and forth messages Jon told me the cancer she’d been fighting since she was 5, with success, has sadly come back … now inoperable and terminal.
They’d been making memories, trying to raise funds to tick off as many bucket list dreams as they could.
I asked what was left on the bucket list that she’d really love to do.
A true Rev Head … a ride in a Lamborghini was top of her list.
After a quick phone call to one of our suppliers, Castle Motors, we had offers from all over for a ride in a Lambo.
With travel being an issue due to hospital appointments and amber having good/bad days, a prestige dealership – Roy Humphrey prestige cars – local (ish) to the Sheehy’s offered a day out with Lambo rides and a look around all the fancy motors. No charge and happy to help.
A couple weeks later they went down for a day full of smiles and memory making with loads of nice cars – amber got her ride in a Lamborghini.
A ride in a helicopter and some of the other bucket list dreams require funding which, despite raising funds themselves, are getting low so we said we’d put together a fund raiser to get a few more of those dreams ticked off the list.

From Rev Head Dad - Jon Sheehy - on his daughters situation:
This is the story of our little warrior daughter Amber.
When Amber was 5 years old she was diagnosed with a medulloblastoma cancerous brain tumour which quickly lead to a full day operation to remove the tumour.
She contracted meningitis following the operation which left her unable to open her eyes or walk for some time.
She then went on to receive proton beam therapy in Germany provided by the amazing NHS and then once home she went through months of chemotherapy.
As a family we thought we had been through the worst until her latest MRI scan showed a new brain tumour that we were told was inoperable and that we should begin making memories with her along with her brothers Max & Hayden.
Now under the care of the East Anglian children’s hospice each, we aim to provide her with a lifetime of memories in the time we have left, which is quite some feat.
Amber is beginning to display symptoms which will be managed as they progress but we as a family with our amazing support network are trying to do as much as we can, as quickly as we can and funds are running low.
Amber knows she has another tumour and that’s all an 8 year old needs to know right now. While she has good days, we allow her to be a slightly spoilt 8 year old girl and enjoy life, but she has bad days too and so making the most of the good days is so crucial.
We are getting ideas on what Amber really wishes to do without talking about why too much, she has told us about her dreams of going in a Lamborghini, flying in a helicopter, barbie’s, days out and makeup & hair (especially as it has all just grown back) just to list a few from the ever growing list.
Amber is a happy, smiling and fun loving little girl but unfortunately a side effect of her illness is a change in mood and emotion which can make life hard for us all and for her to understand quite why she feels that way.
