Can you help us save more kids like Lucy?

Lucy’s tumour was caught by chance, literally in the blink of an eye. It is every parent’s worst nightmare.

I’m Sarah, Lucy’s mum. Lucy was just 3 years old when I noticed a lump on her ribcage while dressing her for bed. At first glance, it looked like she had a broken rib, but the lack of bruising or tenderness had me feeling very uneasy. I remember thinking “This is not good”.

After a sleepless night and already fearing the worst, I took Lucy straight to our family doctor the next morning. From there, things moved very quickly and within a few hours we were on our way to Sydney Children’s Hospital for further investigations.

A few days later we received the devastating news that Lucy had Ewing sarcoma, a rare and aggressive type of childhood cancer, with just 15-30% chance of survival.

Thanks to the Children’s Cancer Institute, Lucy is beating the odds that are stacked heavily against her, by recently achieving 2 years in remission. Her life has been spared by the power of research that is being done right here in Australia, by the Children’s Cancer Institute.

Disturbingly, 86 children are diagnosed with cancer each month in Australia and, in March 2022, Lucy was one of those 86 unlucky kids.

This March, I am running 86km for childhood cancer research - that’s 1km for each of the 86 kids who will be diagnosed with cancer in Australia this month.

Can you donate now, to give more kids a second chance? Because the next child diagnosed could be yours.
