I’m helping to beat blood cancer by taking part in the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave!
On the 17th of August I got on of those phone calls you wish wasn't real. I was in the middle of the dinner rush with three kids- it was mum. "Its Aspen, she's got Leukaemia." Numb and knowing to well what that meant- my heart sank for Jack and Jordan. The Hansens have been a close friend to the family for many years. My mum adopting Jack as a surrogate son, making Aspen like a Granddaughter to her. She was weeks off turning two when she recived a diagnosis of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. Working as a nurse for 4 years on the leukaemia and lymphoma ward (shoutout to 5C) at the Royal Brisbane Hospital I have seen the shock and uncertainty this diagnosis can bring. I also saw first hand how AMAZING the Leukaemia Foundation is for all families on the same unfortunate path. The support they provide to a family is exactly what they need after facing a diagnosis- from arranging support workers, accommodation, transport and education. Many families would not be able to stay together throughout treatment if it was not for the foundation. I will be taking part in the World's Greatest Shave for the Leukaemia Foundation on Friday 8th of October @7pm - Along with my mum, dad and brother- YES THE WHOLE FAMILY!
