Victoria, David Beckham 'Genuinely Moved' by Jade Goody's Fight

Celebrities Victoria and David Beckham are "genuinely moved" by terminally ill British reality star Jade Goody.

Goody, the 27-year-old British celebrity who’s losing her well-publicized battle against cervical cancer, was rushed to the hospital on Sunday in "terrible pain" to treat a blockage in her bowels. And the hospital scare shook the Beckhams.

"Posh Spice" Victoria wrote a letter to Goody, reading: "Both David and I are genuinely moved by your fight against this cruel illness. We are both thinking of you at what must be a terrible time."

Goody was diagnosed last year with cervical cancer, which has since spread to her groin, liver and bowels. Doctors originally said her prognosis was two to four weeks, but now, a hospital source said, "there are worries she won’t make it to the weekend." According to a hospital source, the optimistic Goody we saw last week has changed. Goody said this weekend at the hospital, "This is the place that I am going to die."

Last weekend, we saw a happy Goody wed her 21-year-old boyfriend, Jack Tweed. Now, Jade’s close friend Jennifer Smith told the News Of The World that "Jade has asked us to start planning the funeral." Goody is the mother of two sons, Bobby, five, and Freddie, four. The former "Big Brother" star has her christening planned next Saturday, the same day her sons will be baptized.

No act of compassion goes unrewarded.  Let’s hope she lives through the Christening.
