"I can and I will. Just watch me."
Meet Kate Sparks, 32 years young, a mother, daughter, sister, aunty, fiancé , friend, funny, loud, brave, colourful, adventurous, affectionate, ambitious, courageous, inspiring and very much loved!
Her story so far....
The "C" word!
Just one little word, that was all it took!
It lunged at her with great force, knocking the wind right out, feeling totally blindsided, but somehow fully conscious, that was the moment she heard that word..... Cancer!
That word that every person dreads to hear, yet it seems to touch so many lives in so many ways.
So What Now?
Diagnosed with a rare, low grade, Stage 4, Serous Ovarian Cancer. Generally only seen in 1 out of 10,000 cases of Ovarian Cancer. The tumours are slow growing, and often very hard to detect, "Serous Cancer" is silent yet aggressive.
So what happened to stage 1, 2 and 3 you ask?
Just like an imposter in the night, undetected and unseen, it slowly crept in, taking hold of her most valuable possessions, 1 by 1 it began to remove all the healthy cells, replacing them with the bad.
The gloves are off!
It is terminal and its inoperable!
No time to react, or even take a breath.
The fight is on...... standing in what feels like a big empty ring, fighting her biggest battle yet, no time to waste, straight into stage 4 cancer.
Undergoing 2 rounds of chemotherapy, with 1 more round to go.
This in itself is a battle so tiring it hurts to the bone, Literally!
First the nausea sets in bringing with it a migraine so fierce that you can't see straight.
Then comes that "Oh God" moment when the pain starts to roll in.
This is best described as feeling like you were hit by a bus and left broken on the side of the road to find your own way back home.
The fight continues....
Please help our cause for Finn.
What our fund is for and how your donations will be used and kept safe for Finns future.
My Name is Danni Townsend Oneil. I live and run the business EvasSunday in Myrtleford Vic. I am also a very close friend of Kates and we as a community of family and friends we would like to raise money to go towards a trust fund for Kate's 5 year old son, Finn.
This fund will be locked and only available to Finn when he turns 21 years of age.
Kate's sister, Carleen Bisinella will be setting up the withdrawals from the GoFundMe page to go straight into a fixed account, which is being set up through a local financial institution. The money raised in intended to go towards either university fees or any other things that may arise in Finn's life to help make it easier on him when he is of age to do so.
We want him to know that he, Fionn and Kate will always be supported by many kind hearted people in the community.
Thank you to everybody that has donated or given Kate and her family such wonderful support.
Love Danni Townsend - O'Neil (Kate's friend) & Carleen Bisinella (Kate's Sister)
