Bobbie's Aunties

Support our Sun Up Challenge for Bobbie and other kids with cancer.

When a family is told their child has cancer, what they hear is “your child might die”. Every day in Australia, three families hear those words. Not every child will die, but every family who faces childhood cancer is changed forever. Cancer puts families under enormous pressure. It can feel like it’s impossible to hold it together.

On July 7th this was our family... Bobbie Rose is our 4 year old niece who was diagnosed with ALL Leukaemia last month, shattering her family and friends and turning their life upside down.

We are thankful her prognosis is good, however she has a 2 year fight on her hands and with that comes many changes and challenges.

That's why we are joining Redkite in the Sun Up challenge – to help provide emotional and practical support to families facing childhood cancer.

Redkite along with other amazing charities has provided overwhelming support to our family at this very difficult time and we want to take the opportunity to give back!

We will be taking action by running, strolling or rolling while the sun is up this August, to raise money that will help families pay the bills, access emotional support, and more. From day one in the hospital and for as long as it takes, your support ensures that families don’t have to face their child's cancer diagnosis alone.

Your generosity will make sure that Redkite can provide even more families facing childhood cancer practical and emotional support and care.
