The Heathmont Football Netball Club is unfortunately once again trying to raise funds for great friends of the club. This week, Tessa Raskas, partner of senior club captain Dylan, was diagnosed with cancer in her colon, with spots appearing on her liver and lungs.
She is having surgery later this week and will need chemo as well.
To make the story worse, if at all possible, both of Tessa’s parents Alan and Robyn have had two separate battles with cancer each in the last five years. It’s just devastating news, to have five bouts of various cancers within the same immediate family in five years.
Alan has been our club trainer for the last 12 months as well, giving up so much of his time for the boys in their run at the grand final in 2017.
Due to their battles over the last few years, Alan and Robyn haven’t been able to work full time, if at all, and now Tessa’s diagnosis comes on top of that.
We are asking for any donations people might be able to give to cover initial medical expenses, ongoing treatments for the family, and general living expenses, which has been harder and harder to keep up with. Any size donation would be greatly appreciated by this proud and beautiful family.

We don't personally know this family but we are just so moved by their story. Having one member getting sick is hard enough, let alone three of them. We pray that this trial come to end and that they will continue to be strong for each other. God bless.
