Highlights of mycause Media in July

It was wonderful for mycause to work with such inspiring causes in July 2016.

Over the last month, Australians raised funds to honour loved ones, support friends and family with medical conditions and to make sporting dreams come true. 

Young mother Jessica Gall was desperate to find a cure for her cervical cancer. Her cancer journey sadly, ended in Mexico, where Jessica was receiving treatment with her sister by her side. 

Heartbroken family and friends are supporting widower Eden and their beautiful baby boy Easton with Jessica's medical bills and funeral costs during this incredibly difficult time. 

Over $26,000 has been raised to date for Eden and Easton, with the mycause campaign for Jessica being featured in 7 News Gold Coast, Daily Mail, Essential Baby, Adelaide Advertiser, the Herald Sun and more. Through fitness guru Ashy Bines' Instagram and Snapchat posts, the campaign received 10,000 page views.

After being diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in January 2016, mother of two Clare Vickery is determined to enjoy the time she has left with her family. 

Clare is no longer able to work, leaving husband Chris to be the sole carer for this young family. A group of Clare's friends and colleagues are crowdfunding for Clare, to help ease the financial strain, as Chris cannot work while caring for Clare. 

The mycause campaign for Clare has been featured extensively in the Armidale Express, and was a front page story on the newspaper. 

 

Australian paralympian Jeremy McClure lost 98 per cent of his sight when he was 15 years old. Jeremy's passion for swimming never changed and he is now in training for the 2016 Rio Paralympic Games.

Jeremy has a swim coach, but struggles to train effectively when his coach is unavailable. Thanks to the many generous donors, Jeremy is now able to train underwater with an iPad, which relays recorded training sessions to Jeremy while he is in the pool. 

The mycause campaign for Jeremy was featured on 7 News Perth and The West Australian.

Go for gold Jeremy!
