I don’t even know where to start or what to say, this is my beautiful wife Kerryann Harper. She is currently losing her battle with Cancer and time is not something we have anymore. We tried to raise money to let her achieve her bucket list but unfortunately now she is just too weak. The only thing I can think of is to let Kerryann have the experience through yourselves; the stranger, friend or simply anyone kind enough to help. Have a look at the bucket list, if you have it in your heart to help complete this for Kerryann. That alone will bring a smile to her face. So if you find yourself swimming with dolphins tag #forkerryann in your post and hopefully together with the power and love of strangers and friends / family we can finish this bucket list together. I would love to show her some videos of people doing things just to see her smile again. I know most wont know her but I can promise you, if you ever met Kerryann for more than 5 minutes you would understand how amazing she is. She is the most beautiful person I’ve met inside and out and would put herself last in a room full of strangers to see any one of them smile.
She is the strongest person I’ve ever met and I hope our daughter Emely has half the strength - which I assume will make her a superhero. I will of course complete every single thing on her bucket list with our daughter Emely when she is old enough to understand.
If you could please share this post so it can go far and wide. I can’t offer much but my thanks.

FRONT PAGE EDIT: thank you all so much for everything, the comments and pictures have been so nice to go through with my wife, had me in tears a few times today. I’m not great at the social media things but the response here has been great. There is a lot of people offering money to help me and Emely complete the bucket list. This was never about money but simply to let me wife live the bucket list through others. We did start a gofundme for Kerryann (under Kerryann Ross, we married with some of the money) it has a little more of her story if you are interested to read. https://www.gofundme.com/kerryanns-bucket-list Please do not feel you have to donate, there has just been a lot of people asking is all. Thank you again, Gillan, Kerryann, Emely and Nala dog xx
I have a link that can be shared on Facebook but I don’t even know how to share it. Sorry. My name is Gillan Harper so can’t be too many of us

Almost no one can finish their bucket list.. but having a top partner like you to share her life with.. I guess she already completed top 5!

If you could get a message from him that would be amazing. Thank you so much

Just tag The Rock on his Instagram and I bet if he sees it he’ll come visit her!

If it's any consolation her dreams of life outweigh any life most people actually live. She's truly the most elegant person I've ever seen.

I can’t believe the response on this. I’ve literally gotten our daughter to bed but noticed a lot asking for twitter etc. I don’t know (1/2)

I think it's great considering all the light pollution around :)

Thanks! This is central Reykjavik, I think you have to go a bit further out to see the really good lights :)

Yes I'm lucky it's darker where I live. A good camera I think helps. I could never capture them on my phone well even when strong lights :/

Hey, why don't you try getting the rock go visit her? I know he's done a lot for cancer people. Also, that last photo, you two you look good

Are there any steps we can take to make sure the rock sees this?
DasPike
I pinged The Rock on Twitter and Instagram. Here’s hoping he sees. Godspeed @op
MistressLyda
A meeting might be a bit unrealistic, but yeah, no harm in letting him know. A card or a selfie video would not surprise me the slightest.
SatansDingleBerry
Yeah he seems like a nice guy.
usersubbordercontrol
Like, that's a really good photographer. Plus bro, nice beard.
sassafrasslove
I just DM'd him on Instagram. He is very active there, so hopefully he sees.
GrimTuesday
P!NK and Britney are decently stand up people, maybe tweet this at them and they'd do some sort of livestream for her?
magpie88
same with ellen
Squinge
Ditto The Rock.
ColoradoGaz
So's the Rock.
glassweaver
This needs more upvotes. P!nk is the kind of class act that would likely visit if someone who knows her made her aware of this.

Just tweeted pink and britney!!!
bayardthebloodhound
You might be able to contact Ellen and see if she could do a video thing. I know it's not the same thing but it might be something she would
NurseJoyButWithoutTheJoy
I sent a facebook post to her. If enough of us spam her page...
bayardthebloodhound
I posted to her page.
bayardthebloodhound
Be willing to do. I don't know though. But it never hurts to try.
CinciGuy
I've tweeted her request and a link to this page to The Rock. No idea if he will ever see it, but the very best of luck to you and her!

I tweeted it to him as well

She got cancer?

Idk why the downvotes but yeah she got ovarian cancer. Just plain bad luck
ReallyRichRichard
I down voted because I was confused about the whole post. I still don't know why some people get cancer and some don't. Maybe a study?
PuddingProcrastinator
Hai, I get this is a late reply but I might as well explain, cancer is a mutation caused by cell replication. https://youtu.be/Qja4z1HGDQo
ReallyRichRichard
I think it's cause by using plastic. All the toxic components that leeched into our food.

Maybe they're down voting she got cancer? Or just being asses? Sorry to hear about the cancer Puch0nMyChest :( Very nice tribute though.
