I'm fundraising for a great cause!
My friend Anya was 13 when she was diagnosed with high-grade metastatic osteosarcoma – an aggressive and life-threatening bone cancer. Her family moved from Armidale to Sydney, and Anya began treatment. After surgery and chemotherapy, she got the ‘all clear’ and was able to return home.
But only a few weeks later, Anya noticed bruising and a lump on her
leg − the cancer had returned. She endured another six months of
intensive chemotherapy and high-dose radiation, before again receiving
the ‘all clear’.
I got to know Anya while we went to high school together at PLC Armidale in 2018.
Devastatingly, a scan in May 2020 showed a reoccurrence of the cancer in her lungs. Despite seemingly successful surgery in July, Anya experienced more symptoms in August. On 12 September 2020, surrounded by her loved ones, Anya lost her very brave battle. She was just 19.
All funds will go towards Anya's Wish which is a research project into sarcoma.
