Cancer does not discriminate.
It touches us all in one way or another, and over the past 12 months, it has struck painfully close to home.

I’m dedicating this fundraiser to honour two of the strongest, most selfless women I know and love, who have been impacted by this indiscriminate illness.

In their honour, all funds raised will be divided equally between two incredible organisations:

The Palliative Care Unit at The Townsville Hospital, in memory of my beloved grandmother and in gratitude for the compassionate care she received.

The McGrath Foundation, whose Breast Care Nurses are currently supporting my mother-in-law through her own brave journey.

To further contribute, on June 25th, I’ll be cutting and donating approximately 40cm of my hair through Sustainable Salons to help create wigs for patients experiencing hair loss.

At first, I was reluctant to cut my hair — it was the same hair my grandma last touched. But I've come to realise that her love and strength aren’t tied to strands. Letting go of it now is just one more way to honour her giving spirit and help someone in need — something she would have done without hesitation.

Thank you for supporting this cause in any way you can — with your donations, kind words, or heartfelt prayers. Every little bit makes a difference.

Domestic violence rates continue to soar in NSW. Services are at breaking point, and they need our help.

SAHSSI is a not-for-profit Specialist Homelessness Service supporting vulnerable women and families in the Illawarra and Shoalhaven regions.

SAHSSI has over 30 years of continuous experience, primarily working with women, with or without children, affected by homelessness or domestic and family violence.

As part of the global Shimmy Mob initiative, a group of belly dancers in and around Kiama are raising much-needed funds for SAHSSI. With many families leaving abusive situations with nothing more than the clothes on their back, every dollar counts.

In lieu of a birthday present I am asking for donations to the Lizard Island Reef Research Foundation.  The Foundation exists to support Lizard Island Research Station, where I did my PhD fieldwork back in the day.  LIRS is a globally leading facility for coral reef and climate change science, operated with amazing efficacy and heart, and part of the Australian Museum.  Your donation will help advance understanding and make it more likely our kids and theirs will still be able to experience the wonder of a coral reef.  Please donate what you can!

January 2024 we heard the words that no parent wants to hear, our beautiful little 2 year old girl Florence has a brain tumour creating significant pressure inside her head causing the neurological problems we had been seeing including not being able to walk. She would need to have surgery in the next few days to reduce the size to hopefully relieve the pressure, as it can not be fully resected, and to be able to take a biopsy to find out what type of tumour it is. Our little family was devastated and our little boy Spencer who was 5 years old and Autistic and non verbal was left with our amazing family. During surgery Florence had complications which left the left side of her body unable to move and Florence spent her 3rd birthday, 4 days after surgery, in ICU. Florence had many complications and it was a long recovery. Florence had to learn to eat, talk, sit up, use her left leg and arm, and then learn to walk again. All while going through chemotherapy which started in February 2024 to further try and reduce the tumour. Although it had some effect, chemotherapy strongly affected Florence and she was extremely sick. The good news was the pressure seemed to be slowly reducing but her recovery and therapies were being hindered by how strongly affected Florence was. 6 weeks later they decided to stop chemo and apply for a new treatment called Trametinib a MEK inhibitor.This was something we could administer through an NG tube at home with minimal side effects.3 scans over 9 months show the tumour reducing and Florence is very close to a full recovery from the brain injury through intense therapies. This treatment may continue for the next few years. The biopsy came back, the tumour is called a Pilomyxoid Astrocytoma which is infused with her hypothalamus in her brain. This type of tumour flagged the neurologist to do gene testing and we found Florence has a lifelong disorder caused by a genetic mutation called Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1).What this means is we can never fully remove the tumour and we need to monitor Florence her whole life. Both the brain tumour and NF1 can cause many different symptoms including tumours throughout her nervous system, bone deformities, growth problems. None are guaranteed and we’re hopeful we’ve been through the worst of it. Florence today is the best she’s ever been! She is back at preschool when she can be, catching up on the social skills she missed with her extended stay in hospital. This charity has been created by our family to raise awareness of NF1 and help raise donations to the charity Red Kite who were there for us during our diagnosis and do amazing support work for families like us with a child with a brain tumour and cancer. We also included the Cancer Council who conduct and help fund vital research into treatment and prevention of cancer and tumours. Florence is a shining star and we thank all for you for the ongoing support we receive.

Dear Family and Friends

I am most grateful to you for your love and kindness over the years. 

There is nothing I need at this time of celebration and so ask that instead of a gift to me, that you support the National Trust of Australia (NSW) with a donation to enable them to re-print 'Caroline's Diary' to keep the history of Saumarez in circulation.

Thank you for whatever you can give.

Anne

Anne's Birthday Wish

‘Please support the charities that support Jack’

At 5pm on Monday 5 December 2022 our lives changed forever, Jack, our beautiful 3-year-old boy, who had been suffering from headaches had a CT scan that revealed a lesion in the pineal area of his brain. Two weeks later, our worst fears became reality when Jack was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive brain cancer. 

Jack has been on a rollercoaster since then but has taken on every obstacle and challenge thrown at him, including multiple surgeries, tests, scans, chemotherapy, radiation, separation from family and friends, and having to celebrate his fourth birthday in hospital. Jack is brave, strong and resilient. He is truly amazing.

As we navigate this difficult journey, we would greatly appreciate your help in giving back to the organisations that have and continue to support Jack and our family every day as he battles cancer:

•	Ronald McDonald House Charities Sydney, who have provided us a place to live for the time we are away from Canberra. We have been away from home for 80 days and counting.
•	Zero Childhood Cancer (Children’s Cancer Institute)
•	Redkite
•	Brainchild Foundation

Through this mycause page you can make one donation, get one tax receipt and help these four awesome charities. 

Please leave a message of support to Jack, he is a huge fan of ‘cross the road’ jokes! 
We will update this page weekly with photos of Jack’s progress.

We hope this page will one day be a distant memory we can look back on with our beautiful boy.

Love always Jack, Finn, Kristen and Paul xxx
