Support my Challenge of running 430k’s this March in memory of Izzy!
I’m taking part in 86K for a Cure to help find a cure for childhood cancer.
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.
I’m taking on the epic challenge of running a total of 430km’s throughout March. This is 86 times the 5 precious years our family enjoyed with my daughter 🌈 Izzy! 🌈
She was as bright as all the colours of the rainbow. As the middle child, between two brothers', she embraced all that sparkled and shined, although was equally happy playing with dinosaurs and trucks in the mud. She loved all animals, scaly, slimy, feathered or furred. In her eyes everything deserved love. She had an infectious giggle that warmed any heart and wouldn't shy away from an exciting adventure.
At the age of 4, Izzy was diagnosed with the most deadly of all childhood cancers - Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG). DIPG is a type of brain tumour with no cure and due to its nature, cannot be operated on. With the average survival rate of only 9 months, it is a devastating disease for those children and families impacted by it.
Izzy showed immense bravery for a little girl of her age, enduring radiation treatment, brain surgery, numerous blood tests and scans, yucky medicines, hospital visits, extended periods away from home, and clinical trials. These treatments gave her and her family an extension of time to build many happy memories together, however none could give her the full life she deserved.
In August 2021, Izzy passed away peacefully in her home, surrounded by her family.
Izzy was generous of heart and gave so much joy and love to those around her. Anyone who knew her were gifted with an appreciation of life and all its beauty.
To honor her life and memory, her family want to raise as much money as possible to find a cure to DIPG.
Together, we can help find a cure for childhood cancer and create safer, more effective treatments.
Please DONATE NOW and support our challenge to change the lives of kids with cancer.
