Team Madeline

By Melissa Angeles Join Me

I'm raising money to help relieve the financial burden from families that have a child being treated for a cancer diagnosis.

We're shaving our heads.... AGAIN! To support the creation of bespoke wigs for children, provide essential financial assistance to families in need, and funding within paediatric oncology hospitals across the country, ensuring that every child facing cancer receives the care and support they deserve.

Please support us in Madeline's journey, together we can make today easier for kids with cancer and their families.

First treatment for 2026

Tuesday 14th Apr
My name is Madeline, and I'm 3 years young (4 in August), and I was diagnosed with retinoblastoma (RB1) in October 2024 . An eye cancer that begins in the back of the eye, common in children under 5. I had a large tumour in my right eye and a small tumour in my left. After 2 different types of treatments the tumor in my right eye was still actively growing, so the Drs decided it would be best to remove it. I’ve had a prosthetic eye since the 18th of March 2026. At the moment it is a generic eye. I have not yet been fitted for my prosthetic eye. 
I started chemotherapy on Tuesday the 7th of April 2026. I understand I will lose my hair soon. So my awesome dad and mum have decided to shave their hair off too… Again! My little brother will be joining us this time. I wonder what he will look like with no hair?
We can't donate our locks as they're not long enough so we're asking for your help with making a donation to a wonderful charity who've been so kind and generous to me and to all the other kids and their families at the Oncology Treatment Clinic at Westmead. I get a box of goodies nearly every visit!
