At 5pm on Monday 5 December 2022 our lives changed forever, Jack, our beautiful 3-year-old boy, who had been suffering from headaches had a CT scan that revealed a lesion in the pineal area of his brain. Two weeks later, our worst fears became reality when Jack was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive brain cancer.
Jack has been on a rollercoaster since then but has taken on every obstacle and challenge thrown at him, including multiple surgeries, tests, scans, chemotherapy, radiation, separation from family and friends, and having to celebrate his fourth birthday in hospital. Jack is brave, strong and resilient. He is truly amazing.
As we navigate this difficult journey, we would greatly appreciate your help in giving back to the organisations that have and continue to support Jack and our family every day as he battles cancer:
• Ronald McDonald House Charities Sydney, who have provided us a place to live for the time we are away from Canberra. We have been away from home for 80 days and counting. • Zero Childhood Cancer (Children’s Cancer Institute) • Redkite • Brainchild Foundation
Through this mycause page you can make one donation, get one tax receipt and help these four awesome charities.
Please leave a message of support to Jack, he is a huge fan of ‘cross the road’ jokes! We will update this page weekly with photos of Jack’s progress.
We hope this page will one day be a distant memory we can look back on with our beautiful boy.
