Don't Scroll Past.

Twelve months ago, I created this GoFundMe because we believed there was hope. We prayed, we fought, and we held onto every positive outcome we could.

Today, my heart is breaking as I write this.

Archie has DIPG, one of the most aggressive childhood brain cancers. Despite everything he has endured, we now know this is a battle he cannot win.

There is no cure.

There is no next treatment.

There is only time... and not nearly enough of it.

Can you imagine being told it's only a matter of time before you have to say goodbye to your child?

Can you imagine knowing that every birthday, every cuddle, every laugh, every "I love you" could be one of the last?

No parent should ever have to live with that reality.

Instead of spending whatever time they have left worrying about finances, I want to help give Archie's family the chance to make memories they'll hold onto forever.

A trip.

A special day together.

Another flight for the little boy who dreams of being a pilot.

Another smile.

Another memory.

If everyone reading this donated what they might normally spend on lunch, a coffee or dinner tonight, it would make a real difference.

No donation is too small.

And if you can't donate, please share Archie's story.

Let's show this beautiful little boy and his family that they're not walking this heartbreaking journey alone.

Thank you for every share, every donation and every kind thought.

Support a Brave Fighter Battling DIPG

As a mum, all we want is to see our children grow up and chase their biggest dreams. But on February 12, 2025, our world came crashing down. My beautiful son Archie, just 11 years old, was diagnosed with DIPG (Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma) - a rare, aggressive, and terminal brain cancer.

Since that devastating day, Archie has faced challenges most of us couldn’t even begin to imagine - and yet, he greets each one with courage, humour, and his signature cheeky spark.

In just four short months, Archie has endured:

A brainstem biopsy

30 rounds of radiation (which sadly were unsuccessful)

Surgery to insert a shunt to relieve pressure in his brain

Rapid loss of mobility

Hearing loss

Partial facial paralysis

He has gone from a wild, fearless boy who scared me half to death riding quads on two wheels and refusing to use brakes on his bike, to now relying more and more on a wheelchair.

Despite everything, Archie still dreams big. His greatest wish is to become a pilot. His eyes light up when he talks about flying - soaring through the clouds, navigating the skies, and feeling that magical freedom. This dream is his anchor. It brings him joy, purpose, and the will to keep fighting.

But Archie is so much more than his diagnosis. He’s clever, sarcastic, and brilliantly passionate. He can talk your ear off about nuclear energy, fighter jets, or cars. He loves the thrill of driving bush bashers, and he holds more knowledge in his little head than most adults do about the things he loves.

Our goal is simple: to give Archie as much happiness, adventure, and unforgettable memories as possible in the time we have.

Your donation - no matter how big or small - will help us give Archie the chance to live out his dreams: whether it’s taking flight, getting behind the wheel of his dream car, or simply feeling like a regular kid again, even just for a day.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for reading, for donating, for sharing, and for believing in our boy.

With love and endless appreciation,

Archie’s Mum
