Emily first shared the news that her father had been diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer and that it was terminal in an Instagram post published on November 21. She set up a JustGiving page with her sister, Isabella, and her brother, Max, in order to raise funds to be able to fly their father from Malaysia, where he had been diagnosed, immediately hospitalized, and treated last August, to the U.K. to continue his care at home. Her father was eventually able to return home to the U.K. this winter.
Emily shared an update on January 25 that her father's condition had worsened. "I'm updating at this stage because you've been such a wonderful support and we are so grateful for your donations," she wrote on Instagram. "We don't know how the next stage of events will unfold, but it's easier updating now rather [than] later."
Throughout this difficult time, Emily has received lots of love and support from fans and the Below Deck family, including Captain Sandy Yawn, Ben Robinson, Captain Lee Rosbach, Bobby Giancola, Lauren Burchell, Kasey Cohen, Josiah Carter, Kelley Johnson, and Tiffany Copeland.
