Help Reevie Fight Rhabdomyosarcoma

Donation protected
For those who know Reevie, you’ll know she’s an amazing 10-year-old who lights up every room she walks into. She is hilarious, quick-witted, and never short of something silly, crazy, cheeky, or hilarious to say. She’s incredibly creative—an amazing artist with skills well beyond her years. She brings so much fun and energy to everyone around her.

Reevie also has a huge love for animals, showing the same kindness and gentleness, she shows to people. She is one of the kindest people you could meet—thoughtful, caring, and a wonderful sister to her big brother Riley and her 15-month-old brother Lucas.

Reevie lives in Tasmania, and is surrounded by a loving family, including her dad, Stu, mum, Ella, stepfather, Justin, and her two brothers, Riley and Lucas who are all devoted to supporting her through this journey.

In mid-March, Reevie was diagnosed with Nasopharyngeal Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive cancer. It was found in her sinuses. She has already shown incredible strength and bravery, going through three surgeries within the first two weeks, and multiple other uncomfortable procedures. A large fast-growing tumour was removed during the first surgery, and a week later it had returned. Reevie has now started chemo.

Reevie and her family have travelled to Melbourne for ongoing treatment. Reevie’s medical team has recommended she travel to either the UK, or to Florida in mid-2026 for treatment. Her travel costs and one carer are covered, but this would result in Reevie being away from a parent, and her siblings for months. Ella, Justin, and Stu have all stepped away from work to support Reevie and keep Ella from being separated from Lucas at 15 months of age. This next stage will bring significant challenges—physically, emotionally, and financially—for the whole family.

We are raising funds to help ease some of that burden. Donations will go towards:
• Medical and treatment-related costs
• Travel and accommodation while in Melbourne and UK/Florida
• Supporting the family so they can focus on being with Reevie during this time

If you can contribute, no matter how big or small, it would mean the world. Sharing this page is also another powerful way to help.

Most importantly, we want Reevie and her family to feel surrounded by love and support as they face this journey.

Reevie is strong, brave, and full of life—and she has a whole community behind her.
Thank you for your kindness and support ❤️

About the Organisers
We are Reevie’s aunty and uncle, and we are organising this fundraiser alongside her family, with their permission.

Reevie is surrounded by a large and supportive extended family, all helping in different ways. We are managing the GoFundMe on behalf of the family to help reduce the administrative burden, so they can focus on Reevie’s care and wellbeing.

All funds raised will go directly towards supporting Reevie’s needs as she navigates this challenging time ahead.

Thank you,
