To honour Odhran please support ongoing research childhood cancer.

In June 2022, after a 2.5 year battle with a rare childhood cancer, rhabdomyosarcoma, our son Odhran passed away at the age of 14. 

Sadly, Odhran's story is not unique. Each week in Australia, 3 children die from cancer. This is why we need more research into more effective and less harsh treatments.

So, together with our community of supporters, we are raising funds through various events to support childhood cancer research. We would appreciate any contribution you can make to help us reach our fundraising goal.

Odhran was an amazing kid who was adored by so many and brought so much joy into our lives. He endured more than anyone should, but was prepared to keep going with any treatments offered.
Despite what he had to deal with, he always had a smile and relished spending time with family and friends. It was an absolute privilege to have him in our lives, we just wish he was still here.

With heartfelt thanks,

Simon and Ciara

A big thank you to our Supporters
