Please help 5 year old Quinn who has Medullablastoma, a Malignant Brain Tumour.  These Tumours are super fast growing and Brain Tumours kill more kids under the age of 6 than anything else.

Quinn started school this year and showed no symptons of illness until 25th March, and by mid April she was in Intensive Care at John Hunter Hospital after Surgeons were unable to remove all of the Tumour as it was on her Brain Stem.  Whilst in Intensive Care Quinn has also endured Parainfluenza, Picornavirus and Meningitis.

Following Surgery Quinn lost her ability to speak, the use of the left side of her body and palsy to the left side of her face.  With intensive therapy Quinn is slowly starting to speak again and get back the use of the left side of her body.

It's a long and traumatic road from here for little Quinn and her family, and  they have the fight of their life on their hands.  This Cancer travels through Spinal Fluid so Quinn will need 6 weeks of Radiation all over her Brain and Spinal Column before Chemotherapy can even begin.

Chemotherapy will be very tough and Quinn may even have to undertake this treatment whilst staying in Hospital to help get her through the side effects.

How your financial donation can assist Quinn:

Quinn wants her mum and dad with her as much as she can, and this means extra childcare fees for her younger sister, and mum and dad needing to take time off work.

Quinn will need extensive therapy and help with schooling, along with tutoring etc.

The making of positive memories for Quinn, during these difficult times for a five year old and her family are ever so important, so she doesn't just remember her childhood as being a Cancer Patient in and out of Hospital undergoing invasive treatments and surgeries.

Ongoing treatment and medical expenses as a result of the life lasting deficits caused by Radiation and Chemotherapy on such a young developing brain and body.  The family would ensure funds would be put in trust to assist with these expenses in Quinn's future, and pay it forward where they can so that other families will be helped, they would like to be in a position to be able to donate funds to Red Kite and other charities supporting Brain Cancer.

Updated at the request of Gofundme to advise that Kate Turnbull and Andrew Turnbull are beneficiaries as Quinn’s parents. Their intent is to use the funds to assist with the care and development of Quinn Turnbull both during and following treatment.
