Raising funds for: Janelle, Grant and Hamish Chilcott
Grant and Janelle Chilcott are a true love story. Soul mates. When Hamish came along in 2006, a perfect mix of them both, their little family was complete. In August 2008 our darling Nel was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer. This diagnosis totally knocked the wind out of them, their family and all of us. For 10 years Nel, Grant and Hamish have lived with this awful disease, always with a smile and always with a positive outlook. The past year has been especially difficult as Nel now has secondary brain cancer, and chemo is no longer effective. Funds raised here will be used to give the Chilcott family some treats, whatever that looks like to them. Grant seems excited to use the funds to get in a cleaning lady. Nel was more on board with weekly flowers and massage! Hamish’s pick is a massive Lego set (or maybe a trip to LegoLand!). A family holiday would be perfect as well. It really could be anything that can brighten their day. If you’ve ever thought "What can I do to help?" then here is one way you can. Let’s see if we can bring some magic and love to these very special people who never ask for anything. Thank you for any support you can give, and please share so that everyone can know about our beautiful friends and how much we love them. (N.B Nel and Grant have given their blessing to this fundraising campaign).

And with one day to go, the magic happened. We’re now over $20,000. Be very, very proud (happy and excited), and know that you were all a part of helping Nel, Grant and Hamish in more ways than you know.

Another amazing show of support. Bec at New Norfolk Florist has offered to provide Nel with beautiful flowers every fortnight! These gorgeous tulips arrived today (the second delivery) and Nel was super pleased. She loves tulips. And even put in an order for what flowers she likes for next fortnight! Thanks to Danielle Fenton also, as Bec’s offer came via Dan. Nel and Dan have gymmed together for as long as I can remember.

Along with all the amazing support via monetary donations, people have also been super kind offering their services. One of which is Tracy Vagg of Tracy Vagg Photography who offered a lifestyle photo session free of charge. We received a sneak peek of the photos from Tracy, and they are just beautiful.

Eight days and around another $3,000 since my last update! The love and kindness continues to stream in. I've set the end date for this campaign to Sat 1 September, just under two weeks from now. So if there is anyone still to show their love, you've got two weeks and counting! Thank you all xxx

When this campaign was started with a modest $4,000 target, I thought 15k would be good, but I’d love to get them 20k. And here we are (because of you) past the 15k mark and well on our way to 20k! Grant never thought we’d get the $4,000, and I thought, you just don’t know how much you all are loved and thought of. You’ll be happy to hear Hamish has picked out a lego (a big one), and Grant and Nel are talking about what they’d like to do. This campaign isn’t about pointing people out, but I would like to say the person who got usover the 15k mark was Reegan Alforte, with the massive support of Claremont Football Club (players and supporters). This generous young man shaved off his (I assume, beloved) mullet yesterday and raised $1650! So, Reegan, all of you that gave before and all you still to chuck in THANK YOU. You are doing a special thing. And we aren’t done yet! Campaign is open until mid Sept. Xxx

So, we received this very nice message that really shows how Nel totally leaves an impression on everyone she meets. In 2015 Nel got herself on a little 'speaking circuit'! haha, I remember she was a little nervous, but I think pretty chuffed to be asked. She did three things from my memory - went to Canberra, along with Grant to speak to Roche Pharmaceuticals, Nel was using one of their drugs (with good success at the time), she also spoke to a group of Doctors here in Hobart and then she was a guest speaker at the Seconds Count Gala Ball which is a local fundraiser that raises funds for the Menzies Institute to research (and raise awareness of) metastatic breast cancer. The message is from a guy named David at Roche Pharmaceuticals, and he says ... Hi there - I work at Roche Pharmaceuticals and Janelle came and spoke to our staff back in 2015 when she was on one of our medicines. It really affected the people she spoke to and I'm sure that they'd be keen to help if they knew that she was doing it tough. Do you think it would be ok for me to share the link with our staff network and let people know they can help out? I came across this page just by googling - I do it every now and then because I wonder how she's doing but don't want to bug her! Cheers, David The support is just amazing to see. Thes xxxx
