Help Ash beat stomach cancer

Donation protected


A beautiful family had their lives torn apart with a devastating phone call that has changed their lives. Ash has stage 4 stomach cancer (gastric carcinoma).

Once coming to terms with the tragic news, Ash had urgent laproscopic surgery only to find out the stomach cancer has spread to the abdominal lining and attaching to other organs within the abdomen.


Living in Cairns, there is no-one able to operate or take on his medical case within Queensland. He has been referred to a Professor specialist at the St George Peritonectomy Unit in Sydney. He is willing to look after Ash but says the cancer is too advanced to go straight into surgery and he needs to 8 weeks of chemotheraphy first.


Ash’s chemo starts in later July, 2021 for 8 weeks in Cairns. After this, Ash, his wife Bec and their gorgeous (nearly 2yr old) daughter Emma will have to move from Cairns to Sydney for 2-3 months for another laproscopy surgery to confirm the reduction of the cancer before a major 12 hour operation to remove his stomach, abdominal lining and any organs that are not necessary. After this there will be another 8 weeks of chemotheraphy.


Ash and Bec have tried for years to fall pregnant with the beautiful Emma, after 2 round of IVF and several other procedures which totalled 5 years of treatments, they finally had Emma. This along with COVID and not being able to work as Ash works at the airport and Bec is an Events Manager, has wiped most of their savings. A procedure like Ash is about to undertake, along with the accommodation, lack of family support in Sydney and the unknown as to what the future holds for them as a family will financially deplete them.


We are raising money, so this gorgeous family has one less thing to worry about while Ash under goes treatment in Sydney.

Help me to fundraise for Ash, Bec and Emma. This family has been a constant rock in my life and we have been friends for over 9 years. They are one of the most generous, loving and committed family I know, they always see the positive light in a bad situation and are willing to help anyone when needed.


They are now in a situation which is out of their control and a shock as Ash is only 40 years old with a beautiful young daughter.

We want to fundraise for them to make their lives easier through this horrible ordeal they are about to face, to make one less thing easier on them so they can concentrate on Ash and his ongoing needs.

Help me to support them through this journey x
