Arabella's Journey

Arabella is my 3 year old daughter who was the happiest, out going, intelligent toddler you could meet. At the start of the year, she was feeling quite unwell with constant headaches and nausea with no real answers on our first few trips to the hospital.

After an MRI scan was done on her head, the doctors at Westmead found some abnormalities on her brain and had to be looked into. She had to have brain surgery, where they were able to take out one of the tumors for biopsy, however there is major tumor deep in her brain and a few little ones floating around in her head.

She has also had to have a "shunt" put into her head to help with fluids forming on her brain which was causing the headaches and nausea due to the pressure build up. That is now a permanent thing in her head and is currently working well so far.

She has had a lot of scans, procedures and needles which would frighten a teenager or even an adult for that matter, but she is a brave little girl and has been a champion going through these things, and also having her mum and dad for when she needs a hug.

Currently up to her fourth round of chemo with uncertainty on how many more she will need, but we will get through this, for her!

$10,000 challenge

If we reach $10,000, I will be shaving my head at the river walk event found on my Facebook. 

Support our challenge for children facing cancer.

Every month in Australia, 90 children are diagnosed with cancer. 

For those families, their lives are changed forever. Cancer puts families under enormous pressure. It can feel like it’s impossible to hold it together.

This May, we are taking part in the Heartbreak to Hope Walk to raise funds for Redkite to provide emotional, financial and practical support and care to families facing childhood cancer.

Please sponsor our team by making a donation to support our walk. 

Together, we can show these children and their families that they don't have to face cancer alone and support them as they face the toughest time of their lives.

Thank you.
