How do I sum up Friday's experience - it was a day filled with some nervousness, heightened emotions & some tears as well as a lot of determination and pride.
I am grateful that I was able to share the moment with our kids, and had Jas' voice running through me head the entire time.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me - who donated (big and small) to my fundraiser, thank you to my cheer squad, thanks for the hugs and words of encouragement and everything in-between - each one of you have helped me to honour Jas in such a tangible way.
Much Love & Thanks,
Dana, Lachy & Lily ❤️
Help me take a stand against blood cancer
In honour of Jason - I'm stepping out of my comfort-zone and shaving my hair! Jason held the firm stance that "Cancer is cancer, no matter what and there's no discrimination who it effects"
Right now, over 170,000 Australians are facing the devastating impact of blood cancer, and 17 lose their life every single day.
That’s why I’m taking on the Leukaemia Foundation’s World’s Greatest Shave. By donating to my page, you’ll help me raise funds and awareness for blood cancer, and fuel life-changing research projects and support services for patients and their families.
Any amount – big or small – will make a real, tangible difference.
