Give a Little, Share a Lot: Help Coby and Kids Like Him
Every day, each of us has the power to change the
world—sometimes in ways we never imagined. Today, you have the chance to make a
real difference for Coby and for children across Australia battling paediatric
brain cancer.
Coby is a remarkable young person facing the toughest
challenge of his life: level 4 brain cancer (Diffuse Midline Glioma – DMG). The
prognosis is harsh—on average, just 12-18 months to live. But Coby doesn’t see
himself as simply unlucky. He calls himself “the luckiest unlucky kid in the
world” because he lives in Australia, where world-class doctors and researchers
are on the brink of a breakthrough. He dreams of having a long, happy life,
studying child psychology, helping others, surfing in Fiji, and spending time
with his loved ones and his puppy, Apollo.
Coby’s greatest wish is to be remembered—not just for his
fight, but for the impact he can make with your help. He wants to harness the
power of community to raise more for paediatric brain cancer research than
anyone ever has. The goal is ambitious: $1,000,000.
Can you help?
One thing we’ve learned since Coby’s diagnosis – nothing we
achieve is achieved alone. Show Coby and other kids with brain cancer the true
power of community – give a little, share a lot, ask your friends, your family
to donate – just $2 or $5 – a coffee to you, possibly a chance at life for Coby
and other kids just like him.
So that Coby (and his family caring for him) can focus on
Coby’s treatment, Coby’s fundraising will be coordinated by our friends at
Robert Connor Dawes Foundation – a foundation set up by the amazing Liz Dawes,
OAM, after her son Connor, lost his life to brain cancer in 2013. RCD
Foundation will direct the funds to ANZCHOG’s projects supporting clinical
trials for brain cancer research, supporting kids who live outside major
capital cities to be able to take part in clinical trials, and on
infrastructure needed for quicker diagnoses, and better overall experience
during treatment.
