Support my challenge to help kids with cancer
We're taking part in 86K for a Cure to help find a cure for childhood cancer.
The goal is to walk 86km during March and, through sponsorship, raise money for the Children's Cancer Institute.
Every month, 86 children are diagnosed with cancer. There is usually no known cause, treatment can go on for many years and it puts an enormous strain on family life.
We know all this from experience unfortunately, as our darling daughter Rosa was diagnosed with an aggressive type of brain tumour (Grade 4 Glioblastoma) just before Christmas, 2020.
As a result of this diagnosis we also discovered that both Rosa and her brother Orson, our only two children, both have a rare genetic cancer predisposition syndrome called CMMRD which carries an extremely high risk of multiple cancers, from blood and bowel cancers to brain tumours.
Very recently a tumour was also detected in Orson's brain and he is scheduled for surgery on 15 March.
So we're taking on this challenge throughout March for our two kids, and for the 86 children who are diagnosed with cancer each month in Australia.
Together, we can help find a cure for childhood cancer and create safer, more effective treatments.
Please consider supporting our challenge, either by joining our team to help us fundraise or by making a donation, to change the lives of kids with cancer.
With love from Dom & Jess
