Hi, my fundraiser is supporting Livin for Levi in memory of Levi Roodenburg.
Levi was the kind of kid who lit up every room. Full of energy, laughter and personality, he loved sport, adventure, his family and spending time with his mates. He embraced life with enthusiasm and always had a smile on his face.On 7 November 2025, Levi was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) – a rare, aggressive and incurable childhood brain tumour. Despite facing challenges no child should ever endure, Levi showed incredible courage, resilience and strength throughout his battle.
Levi's story highlights the devastating reality of DIPG and the urgent need for more research, better treatments and, ultimately, a cure. Though his time was far too short, the impact he had on those around him will last forever.
I'm fundraising in Levi's memory to support Livin for Levi and help fund vital research into DIPG and other childhood brain cancers at Children's Cancer Institute, bringing hope to families facing this heartbreaking disease.
Thank you for your generosity and for helping keep Levi's spirit alive.
Live like Levi: with courage, kindness and a love for every moment.
Many of you already know Brooklyn and the incredible work she has done over the past nine years supporting brain cancer awareness. This year, we’re taking things a step further, with the entire Mangoola Kookaburras Netball Team joining the cause.
For every goal scored this season, we’re donating $1 to support brain cancer research. So far, the team has scored an impressive 279 goals, and the tally is still growing.
The Mangoola Kookaburras are the reigning Grand Final champions, and with another strong season underway, they’re hoping to defend their title while making a meaningful difference off the court. All 11 players are giving their all to honour Levi, who sadly lost his battle with brain cancer.
Every dollar raised will be donated to the Children’s Cancer Institute in Sydney to help fund vital research and support for families affected by childhood cancer.
We’d love your help in sharing this story and raising awareness. If you’d like to support the team and this important cause, come along to the games at Karoola Park or get in touch to make a donation.
Together, we can make every goal count. 💙🏐🎗️
