- Synopsis
- A beautiful and heart-breaking movie based on the international best-selling book, MUM’S LIST tells the true story of Singe Greene, who had to deal with the tragic loss to cancer of Kate, his wife and mother of his two children.
  
  St. John Greene (‘Singe’) never planned to write a book, let alone one like MUM’S LIST. An adventure-loving outdoor sports trainer, he met his future wife, Kate, when they were both teenagers, and they’d been together for more than twenty blissful years. Their perfect world crumbled when their first son Reef, was given a terrifying cancer diagnosis at just eighteen months old. With only a 6% chance of survival, doctors gave him mere days to live. Miraculously, Reef pulled through (and remains healthy to this day).
  
  But then, just as things were getting back to normal, Kate was diagnosed with an incurable breast cancer. For Kate, nothing was as important as the happiness and well-being of her family. With Singe she spent hours talking and crying about her hopes and dreams for her family—ones she would now never see realised. Over her last few days she created ‘Mum’s List’, writing her thoughts and wishes and memories down, to help the man she loved create the best life possible for their sons after she was gone.
  
  Written on scraps of paper or sent as text messages, day and night, the list captured her passionate nature, her free spirit, her sense of humour, and her undying love for her family.
  Some entries were instructions…some, observations…others, memories to be kept alive forever. All of them, a memorial to the woman being forced to say goodbye.
