In Memory, In Hope: Support Chris O’Brien Lifehouse Through My Camino de Santiago

Honouring Loved Ones, Empowering Cancer Care

In 2020, I lost my father to pancreatic cancer-a loss that still shapes my life and fuels my commitment to making a difference for others facing the same battle. Like so many families, I have seen the devastation cancer brings, but I have also witnessed the hope, expertise, and compassion offered by the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse. In memory of my father and all those who have fought or are fighting cancer, I am embarking on the Camino de Santiago this September to raise funds for Lifehouse. Every dollar raised will go directly to support their extraordinary work.

Why Chris O’Brien Lifehouse?

Chris O’Brien Lifehouse is more than a hospital-it is a sanctuary for patients and families navigating the complexities of cancer. As a not-for-profit, comprehensive cancer centre in Sydney, Lifehouse delivers integrated care: from diagnosis and advanced treatments to supportive therapies and wellness services, all under one roof. Their mission is to transform lives with compassion, innovation, and research-driven care.

My Challenge: The Camino de Santiago

This September, I will walk the historic Camino de Santiago-a journey of reflection, endurance, and hope. The Camino is not just a physical challenge; it is a spiritual and emotional pilgrimage, echoing the journey faced by every cancer patient and their loved ones. By supporting my walk, you are helping Lifehouse continue their mission and extend their impact to more families in need.

How Your Donation Helps

Your generosity will:

·      Fund world-class cancer treatment, research, and supportive care at Lifehouse.

·      Support innovative projects that bring new therapies and hope to patients.

·      Honour the memory of loved ones lost and empower those still fighting.

Any amount will make a difference

I invite you to support this cause that means so much to me and to countless others. Every donation, large or small, goes directly to Chris O’Brien Lifehouse and will help transform lives. Together, we can honour those we have lost, support those still fighting, and create hope for the future.

 

Thank you and please share this page with your friends, family, and networks. Let’s walk this path together-towards hope, healing, and a world where cancer’s burden is lighter for all.

 

Thank you
