Standen periodically explained the progress of his treatment to them. He shaved his head and frequently uploaded information to his social media. No one suspected his lie.

Her friends decided to fundraise on a website with the idea of ​​giving her the wedding of her dreams and they raised 8,500 pounds.

Although the father died, the marriage took place. At the party, the friends screened a video recorded by the man on his deathbed.

Among other surprises for her was a video recorded by the star of the Everton football team and a honeymoon in Turkey.

But friends began to suspect that she didn’t have cancer when they began to see that Toni was still traveling the world.

After their honeymoon in Turkey, she and her husband traveled to Italy, Germany, Hungary, Austria and the Czech Republic.

As it turns out, the couple continued to live off the money their friends had raised for years.

The prank was revealed when the friends decided to tape a phone conversation in which they asked her if it was true that she was sick or not. She confessed during the call and then sent text messages to apologize.

The woman was reported and a judge sentenced to 5 months in prison. In addition, he had to return 2,000 pounds to a local merchant who had contributed this sum after learning of his sad story.
