Hello everyone, my name is Cassie and I have started this fundraiser for our friends, the Drysdale family. My 7 year old son goes to school with and has become best mates with Coen. Here is his story.

Coen is a regular 7 year old boy. He loves NRL and his Cronulla Sharks, Pokemon, playing Mario Kart and singing along to music in the car. The thing that sets him apart from his mates at school though is that Coen has been fighting cancer for as long as he can remember.

In 2020, while the world was locked down, Coen's parent's heard words no parents should ever have to hear. He was 15 months old and diagnosed with Posterior Fossa Ependymoma, with cancer cells in his Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) causing multiple tumours within his brain. Over the next several years Coen would undergo 4 brain surgeries to remove multiple tumours, 3 rounds of radiation, 2 clinical trials and is now undergoing a round of oral chemotherapy in the hopes it will give him more time.

Coen's medical journey comes with expensive doctor's consultations, scans, medicines and supplements as well as so much time off work for his family to be with him. The cost of living these days is taking it's toll on everyone but more so for family's like Coen's.

He, along with his loving Mum, Amanda, Dad, James, and baby brother Logan, have been fighting so hard and now it's time for us to join the fight with them and help where we can. So if you are able, please donate anything you can, every dollar helps! Let's give this family some support in their time of need and bring a smile to Coen's face!

Thank you all for your kindness! I know it will mean the world to them!
