<div><strong><em>• Glen has been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and may only have months left</em></strong>
</div>
<div><strong><em>• Amanda lives with a rare incurable disease and is medically unable to work</em></strong>
</div>
<div><strong><em>• Two children facing an uncertain future without financial support</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It’s with a heavy heart we share the news that Glen was recently diagnosed with an aggressive and devastating form of <strong>brain cancer</strong> (Stage 4). Glen was in the best shape of his life and was driving his car a week and a half ago when he had a seizure at the wheel. Eva was in the car and was luckily unhurt. She did an amazing job calling the ambulance and flagging down other motorists, who pulled Glen from the vehicle, placed him in the recovery position and looked after both Glen and Eva until the ambulance arrived.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Glen was taken to hospital where he was diagnosed with fractures to the L4 and L5 lumbar spine. While investigating the cause of the seizure  (to his family’s complete shock) doctors discovered a large mass deep within Glen’s frontal lobe. Glen was transferred to John Hunter Hospital where the incredible team of neurosurgeons did everything they could to prolong the time Glen has left. Due to the location of the tumor they were unable to fully remove it without causing damage to Glen’s speech, eyesight and movement, but they were able to remove approximately 50%. This has helped release some pressure on Glen’s brain and will hopefully give him more precious time with his family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Glen will now spend the next three weeks recovering from surgery before beginning chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Despite the very best medical care available, doctors have advised that Glen’s <strong>life expectancy</strong> may be as little as <strong>six months.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This news is heartbreaking for everyone who knows and loves him. Yet despite this devastating diagnosis, Glen has remained incredibly positive. He refuses to spend the time he has left being angry at the world or sitting around feeling sorry for himself. Instead, he wants to live, to enjoy the time he has left, and to spend every possible moment with his friends and family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What makes this situation even more challenging is that <strong>Amanda</strong> has been medically retired from the workforce for the past six years due to serious health issues of her own. Following a stroke-like episode, Amanda was diagnosed with a <strong>rare and incurable disease</strong> called Autoimmune Encephalitis. She receives monthly chemotherapy and immunotherapy treatments to keep the condition stable and spends much of her time simply trying to stay well. This illness means Amanda requires many hours of rest each day just to manage her health and still be present for their children.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Despite everything she faces, Amanda continues to show up for her family in every way she can – helping with everyday life and cheering the kids on at their after-school activities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Several years ago, after Amanda’s diagnosis, the family made the decision to move to Old Bar in Northern NSW where housing was more affordable and life could be a little easier while managing Amanda’s health. They purchased a house and land package with hopes of building a stable home for their family. Sadly, when housing prices surged, a developer found a loophole and went bankrupt, the family lost the home they had planned to build and the money they had invested. What should have been their safe place turned into another devastating setback, and the family is now renting. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Throughout these challenges Glen continued to put his family first. For several years he commuted three hours each week to the Central Coast to maintain his manager position so he could continue supporting his family financially. Only recently he has finally settled into a job he truly loved near home, and the children had become settled at high school and in their community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To make things even harder, Amanda lost her mother – her last remaining parent – in early 2025. When Amanda first became ill, the family had moved in with her mum so she could help care for Amanda during the worst of her illness. Cruelly, not long after, Amanda’s mum was diagnosed with dementia. The roles quickly reversed, and Amanda and her family became her carers until it eventually became too much and her mum needed to move into full-time care. She passed away in early 2025.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Right now, Glen and Amanda’s focus is simple, time together as a family, time to create memories with Eva and Jacob and time with the people they love most.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Glen and Amanda have always been the kind of people who show up for others without hesitation. Now it’s our turn to show up for them.
</div>
<div><strong>We are hoping to raise $200,000</strong> to help support this beautiful family through the most difficult period of their lives. The funds will help ease the financial pressure now, but more importantly, help provide some <strong>future security for Eva and Jacob</strong> as they grow into adulthood.
</div>
<div>Amanda’s health means she cannot work and realistically may never be able to financially support the children. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our hope is not only to help this family create memories in the time they have left with Glen, but also to help give their children a more secure future, no matter how Amanda’s health unfolds in the years ahead.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is simply too much for one family to endure alone. If you are able to contribute – no matter how big or small – it will make a real difference to this family. If you cannot donate, sharing this page with others would mean the world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for helping us give Glen, Amanda, Eva and Jacob the time, support and security they deserve.
</div>
<div><br />
