Please help us find a cure for kids like Lucy!
Exactly 1 year ago, in March 2022, Lucy, was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma, a rare and aggressive type of cancer. At diagnosis, she was given a 15-30% chance of surviving the next 5 years. Thankfully, Lucy’s survival rate has improved since diagnosis and she is responding well to treatment.
During March, we will be pounding the pavement in honour of Lucy’s resilience, bravery and the little friends that she has lost along the way.
Our team is OPEN for anybody to join. Pyrmont Locals, colleagues, friends and family are all welcome. You can be from any country and any level of fitness (walking is allowed too!). Please join our team, share our team page and encourage others to join the fun too.
This is an event that actually saves individual lives. Lucy is one of the participants in the ZERO cancer program. During the program, Lucy’s tumour is being put through its paces in the lab, right here in Sydney, just metres away from her hospital room - it is being grown, tested and treated with different drugs. During this process, the scientists have identified one particular drug which could save her life and she will be starting this new treatment in March. Her tumour is still being tested with other drugs as well. This type of individual tumour analysis and testing is not widely available in other countries yet. Lucy is incredibly lucky to be in Australia!
Lucy is 1 of 86 children who are diagnosed with cancer, in Australia, each month. That’s:
86 families who are thrown into the chaos and anxiety of oncology.
86 families torn apart during lengthy hospital stays.
86 families who suddenly lose one or both of their incomes.
86 families living with the daily load of uncertainty.
86 sets of siblings who are suffering too.
And sadly, the worst is yet to come for some of those families:
12 of those 86 children will die.
Lucy has experienced more trauma than most adults will ever see.
She spent most of 2022 in hospital, too sick to leave her bed.
Her little body has been pushed to the brink of failure.
But somehow, she is still here.
Lucy has seen families leave hospital for the last time.
Going home to spend whatever time they have left together.
She has had a child pass away in the room next door.
She has seen what terminally ill children look like.
She has heard the Code Blue announcements.
She has heard parents sobbing.
She has seen doctors sprinting down the hallways.
She has seen nurses with trembling hands, as they continue their shift.
She has heard the frightened whispers of a new diagnosis.
She has heard parents crying quietly in the night.
She has seen children vomiting until they fall asleep from exhaustion.
She has heard children begging to go home.
She has had chemo-induced seizures.
She has been on life-saving oxygen support.
She has had blood infections, COVID and pneumonia.
And she has been in ICU.
But there is hope for Lucy and our future warriors.
The research is working.
The science is working.
And the drugs are working.
Thanks to the Children’s Cancer Institute.
And the generosity of strangers.
Australia is getting very close to curing childhood cancers.
It’s not if… it’s when.
Please DONATE NOW to save more children like Lucy.

We’re all cheering for you Lucy! Anda great initiative Sarah and team, I don’t know who’s luckier - Lucy to have such a fantastic network and loving family around her, or us to have Lucy in the world to inspire us with her remarkable strength and make a change to the future of other children. Keep going Lucy, you superstar.

Hi Sarah, I live in Pyrmont and see your beautiful Family all the time - albeit from a far . I have a five year old daughter. Your posts about Lucy’s journey through cancer are heartwarming and heartbreaking and I wish so badly that Lucy will be back to her bright and bubbly self very soon. Gina
