Hello everyone

Im Tenille I am 42 years old , I was born in port Pirie . I am the proud mother of three beautiful children and big sister to two siblings.

Sixteen years ago whilst travelling from port Broughton to port Pirie our mum was t-boned at 110km/h by a truck that failed to give way, she was killed lnstantly at 44 years old. This was the beginning of my little sisters heartache, mum was my sisters carer as my sister had a long list of medical issues including a rare eye condition, she was hospitalised regularly when we were kids and she was one of the first people in Australia to trial the stem cell research …..as a child mum would be rite by her side always. She buried a chunk of her heart with our beautiful mum.

We then watched our dad lose his battle to cancer after fighting thru radiology, loosing his hair, feeding tubes…..this is where the heart ache stole another piece of her.

saying goodbye to her precious fur baby Coby was the next meet with heartache, this stole another chuck of her already damaged and now fragile heart

Soon after we would bury our grandparents……this was a massive hit and left her struggling to pull herself bak up.

Despite trying to fight thru sickness, lose, financial hardship, betrayal, heartache and loneliness my little sister always had a smile on her face and a funny story to share.

When twurpz walked in to a room she lit it up, eyes would follow her every move, she was a para athlete, young citizen of the year, a torch bearer for Sydney 2000 Olympic Games and she still to date holds 4 Australian records, she is and always will be a champion .

To watch and/or listen to her run, sing, dance, tell a story/joke it was like the room became her stage and it was absolutely inspiring to watch and I’m so thankful it was me that got the privledge to be front and centre as ur big sister and share the truly amazing ride that was ur life.

My sister was my strength, the one I turned to for advice, my go to with good or bad news and my bestest friend….

Now I need to face my next chapter without her and I’m so scared

with that said I’m turning to all of u to please reach in ur pockets and help me give my sister the Farewell she deserves , no donation to small.

I have asked for help to raise $12000 to pay for my sisters send off, I also am hoping to put a plaque on my mums grave for twurp and lastly to tie up any loose ends

Thanks in advance

much appreciation to u all
