Hey everyone as you all know having Gladstone hotel for 4 years
We raised money for
Little local boy who sadly had a Stoke
Local lady who had cancer
East coast man who was burnt
Local young boy who was burnt
Now I’m reaching out for something so so close to my heart
My dear oldest sister Jo who is from Burnie ,56 single mum of 3 beautiful girls and a Nan of 6 little grandkids with another little one on the way .
Jo was born with a illness called spina bifida but one of the lucky ones who could live a normal life ,walk ,drive and have children ❤️
In and out of hospital all her life with many many of operations but such a fighter . My parents by her side all the way ❤️
Jo lives alone for the past 3 weeks having many falls at home rushed to hospital on the Sunday then to be rushed to Hobart for a mri to find a tumour on her brain the size of a mandarin which was removed what the doctors could …
Jo has no feeling at all on her left hand side her speech as been effected as well so we where told lots of rehab to start
Yesterday results come back …
meeting with doctors to be told stage 4 cancer 😢
So she is to start treatment asap
I’m reaching out from the bottom of my heart 💔
To raise money for my big sister and her beautiful kids for all the help they need for the long road ahead
# # all my sister every wanted to do was go a cruise maybe a holiday she could have after treatment…
