About

In lieu of flowers and on behalf of Chris Browne.

We would like to donate to 4 different groups who worked tirelessly to keep our beautiful wife and mother with us and fighting over her 2 and a half year cancer journey.

*Geelong Cancer Physicians*
To David Campbell and his team.
The care, effort and options you gave Mum and how you showed up in the really difficult times was incredible and reassuring. Thank you for always being kind, gently honest and for guiding us all through this journey with confidence and love.

*Icon Cancer Centre*
To Maitham and your amazing team. How much she loved you despite the reasons she got to know you so well.
You always found a way or solution.
Always matched her positivity and embraced our family with a special care for the person we love most. We are so grateful you were apart of her team. Your work kept her with us and allowed her to keep that quality of life she loved to live.

*Epworth Level 5 Day Oncology*
To Heidi, Steph, Kristen and the beautiful team on Level 5.
No matter the request or the day, you were there. We’ve never met someone who genuinely loved visiting the oncology department and getting her chemo or fluids. She loved being around you all, loved learning about your lives, loved supporting your interests and would adore coming home to write in her book and tell us all about you. You brightened some of the most difficult days. How lucky we were to have you looking after our Mum.

*Barwon Health Palliative Care At Home*
To all the nurses and doctors who visited our home. You know Chris had 3 requests.
To stay at home, to stop vomiting and to be out of pain. Our family could not speak more highly of the service and treatment you gave our wife and Mum in the last 2 weeks of her life. At times it was torturous but your support, willingness to communicate, compassion, kindness and expertise allowed her to have her wishes fulfilled whilst being surrounded by those she loved the most. What special memories you allowed us to have.

Thank you for everything.

So sorry for your loss Kelsey and Madi and also to your dad Mark. Sending you all strength and support during this very difficult time. I only met Mrs Browne very briefly at a Wildcats game several months ago, but I found her to be joyful in life and very lovely and friendly. If there is anything I can do, please let me know.
