On the 25/01/2023, our lives changed forever when our 13 year old son was diagnosed with osteosarcoma.
We lost our precious, beautiful boy to osteosarcoma,19 months after his diagnosis , he fought this horrible disease with every ounce of his strength. He endured 9 months of toxic chemotherapy, extensive surgeries, radiation, and an amputation.
Through it all, he still tried to make people laugh, but the quiet moments we shared late at night in his hospital bed broke my heart. The impact on his mental and physical health was an agony no child should ever know.
As his medical team ran out of options, we felt completely let down by a rigid system. Restrictions blocked us from trying immunotherapy, leaving us to watch his life slip away with no stones left to turn. It is not okay that standard osteosarcoma treatments haven't changed in decades. Our children are being given brutal, outdated therapies that leave their bodies broken.
I am sharing his story because I cannot sit still while this cruel disease takes more innocent children. We need to pour our focus into research to find better, safer, and less harmful treatments.
If you wish to honour our beautiful boy's memory, please help us demand change and support dedicated research so that other mothers don't have to watch their world crumble.
In loving memory of

Every year, more than 1,000 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.
So I am raising funds to honour a life and help other kids and their families.
Together, we can help find a cure for childhood cancer and create safer, more effective treatments.
Please donate and make a memoriam donation to show your support.
