I'm raising money to help relieve the financial burden from families that have a child being treated for a cancer diagnosis.
I am cutting my hair to fundraise to help sick kids throughout Australia. Not only will my lovely locks be used to make a wig, your donations to the cause that means so much to me, will allow Kids with Cancer Foundation to continue with their financial support of families that have a child suffering cancer.
Please donate to my fundraiser, and share with your family and friends, together we can all make a difference.

Brooke's Cancer Journey
Friday 23rd SepAlmost 3 weeks ago our amazing daughters life was turned upside down. It all started with a small amount of abdominal pain. This lead to investigations of ultrasound, MRI and CT scans. The result of these showed a left side ovarian tumour. This was no small tumour. It was estimated to weigh 3.5kg and size of a football. This was a shock to us seeing she has only just recently finished a season of Netball and was Horse riding the day before it was found.
We were transferred to Sydney Childrens Hospital where Brooke had a laparotomy to remove the tumour and her left ovary.
She showed amazing strength and self determination to get up and moving after such a large operation. Surprising a lot of staff at being checked out on Day 4 post op.
We had a week back at home recovering whilst awaiting the pathology results of the tumour. The results have now shown she has ovarian cancer and will need chemo.
The reason for this post is she is going to donate her hair. Yes before chemo takes any of it she will be donating it to Wigs for Kids. Wigs 4 Kids provide wigs for kids going through chemo and other treatments. The donations help to cover the cost of making the wigs. We’d be glad if you can help in any small way you can.
Thank you for everyone’s prayers, thoughts, gifts and help over the past 3 weeks.
