Help Jayden Neilson win his toughest match yet

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Emma and I'm helping raise funds for Jayden Neilson and his family.

As many of you know, Jayden has had to face cancer at a young age in recent years. Since his initial diagnosis a few years ago he has undergone significant medical treatment and long periods of absence from his beloved tennis coaching. He was also diagnosed with heart issues related to the treatment which meant further time off court last year. It's been an enormously difficult time for him, his partner Jess and their daughter Chelsea.

Jayden returned to work in 2023 and was optimistic that the worst was behind him. Then a few months ago, Jayden went for a routine check up. He was shocked to discover there was active cancer in his lymph nodes and is now undergoing intensive chemotherapy.

This comes at a very difficult time as he and Jess are expecting their second baby while he is receiving 9 weeks of chemotherapy. Jayden is experiencing major side effects including extreme fatigue. He can't work for a prolonged period. His work partner and colleagues have rallied around and helped a lot but it has put a big financial strain on him and the Gripping Potential business.

Jadyen is uncertain whether he can be present for the birth of his daughter, and it's unlikely he will be able to assist much in the early weeks and months of parenting. He and Jess are managing as best they can with the help of family and a professional doula.

Will you help me help Jayden to manage this difficult period of his life, give him the time he needs to recover and support his family in this critical time?

With your help Jayden and Jess stay solvent, lifting the financial anxiety so he can focus on his treatment and recovery.

Your help will allow Jess to care for herself, Chelsea and the new bub without rushing back to work immediately.

Your help can ensure they can access support and services like childcare, cleaning, birth services and complementary therapies as well as just the basics of life like bills and mortgage.

You can also help by sharing this fundraiser with others who know and care about Jayden, Jess and Chelsea.

I hope I can count on your support. No amount is too small and it is deeply appreciated by Jayden and Jess. Let's help Jayden get back on his feet as the family and community centred man that he is.
