UNITE FOR HOPE 2021

Off treatment from May 2021, chemo brain subsiding and side effects mainly gone there was time for the roller coaster to slow down. For some reason in my cancer journey it seemed to be the right time to engage with Pancare Foundation.

An amazing organisation with everything myself and family needed to support the next part of my fight. Counselling, Patient and Carers meetings, access to financial assistance, emotional and physical wellbeing, the list goes on and on what essential support they provide to so many in need.

We joined the Unit for Hope 2021 event and created team “Poppy Ruts”, my name from my beautiful grandchildren. Unfortunately due to COVID and lockdowns in Victoria Pancare was not able to hold the event.

In November we decided to plan a family and friends celebration at the Heathmont Football Club. It was an amazing day, with food, drink, games, raffles, creating memories we will keep forever.

With donations from family, friends and work colleagues we were able to raise over $10000 in total. An achievement which is something I cannot thank them enough for and am very humbled they all could be so generous.
