<div><strong><em>Thoughts from Paige…</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“You have a brain tumour.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>…are the words I never expected to hear at 30 years of age.
</div>
<div>I was fit and healthy.
</div>
<div>I was completely well—doing acrobatics and circus.
</div>
<div>I was so happy and about to go overseas to live my dream.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But life had other plans.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Awful plans I never imagined I’d share publicly, but I believe in being real - and sometimes that means sharing the times when life isn’t perfect.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The tumour is large and pressing on my brain. It appears slow-growing, but has some atypical features that are concerning - so surgery is needed, and we won’t know exactly what we’re dealing with until then.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So, no trip. No circus school. No dream of performing at the Edinburgh Fringe again with my friends.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But how lucky I am that it was found. That I live in Australia with access to great healthcare. And that I have the most incredible friends and support crew who’ve been holding my head up on this wild, scary rollercoaster.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I want to find purpose in this mess - and hopefully by sharing my story, I can help others too. I’ll keep you all posted.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now go live your day to the fullest and don’t wait for tomorrow. x
</div>

</div>
<div><strong>Paige is scheduled for neurosurgery in July</strong>, with a recovery period expected to last up to six months. During this time, she won’t be able to drive or work as a paramedic, and she’s already navigating mounting medical costs - specialist appointments, imaging, hospital fees, and the inevitable out-of-pocket surprises that come with major surgery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you know Paige, you know she’s pure sunshine - one of those rare, genuine souls with a fire for life, matched only by her wildly infectious laugh. She’s the kind of friend to show up with a homemade cake and a quirky story when life gets hard, and this is our chance to show up for her in return.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This GoFundMe is to support Paige during recovery - to help ease the financial stress so she can focus on healing, regaining her strength, and eventually getting back to what she loves most: spinning on stage, travelling the world, and chasing her circus dreams.
</div>

<div><em>Let’s get behind our rocket of a human and help her bounce back stronger than ever ♡</em>
