Naomi's Update!
Thursday 7th Jul
Why Naomi's Fundraising
Friday 1st AprRecently, my 19year old sister Naomi learned she had a sizeable tumour in her lower spine. A week later, she was diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma - a rare and aggressive soft tissue cancer which most commonly effects 10-20year old adolescents.
Cancer is as rough as it comes, the treatment is intense and brutal with some pretty awful side effects. We all know it can happen to anyone, which makes it even more heartbreaking…we just never imagined it could happen in our family.
Anyone who has the pleasure of knowing Naomi, knows what a warm and funny, intelligent and loving human she is. She’s a free spirited, animal and ocean loving bohemian who cares deeply about her friends and family. Her best days are filled with sunshine and salt water, music and laughter. Naomi has a clear sense of right and wrong, like the Leo - she is fiercely loyal and chooses to surround herself with real down to earth people who delight as much as she does in spontaneity, relaxed fun and simple pleasures. She does not suffer fools…she values experiences, not possessions. That said, this is one experience we wish she could do without. On the bright side, this experience will no doubt make Naomi a stronger more resilient person.
To show our support, some of our family and friends are shaving, cutting or colouring their hair (feel free to join us!) and we thought, we might as well try and raise a bit of money doing it too.
Naomi is also choosing to shave her head and donate her hair to https://www.ponytailproject.com.au/supporting-salons/sustainable-salons
The Ponytail Project is run by the Cancer Council - all hair donations go towards making wigs for kids who lose their hair during cancer treatment. #RockTheChop!
While supporting Naomi with this initiative, 100% of the funds we raise will go to Chris O’Brien Lifehouse where Naomi is receiving her treatment. Lifehouse have been absolutely amazing with Naomi so far in her journey, and it is our wish to support them too.
Lifehouse is a non-profit hospital in Camperdown which puts the patient at the centre of everything they do, specialising in rare cancers and providing integrated treatments which support, nurtures and empowers patients, their families and loved ones.
So come help us support our Naomi, however you can, donating large or small, or come and shave, cut or colour your hair with us! We'd love to see you…. together we can support Nomes and make a worthwhile contribution.
