Hi I'm Sarah, And I'm raising funds to show our support to Rachel, Ian and their 2 kids Jensen (13) and Evelyn (9).

3 years ago Rachel was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer, she has fought hard these last 3 years with treatments and trials, but sadly was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Rachel has done everything to continue to fight for more time.. but sadly last Wednesday night, Rachel was taken to hospital with internal bleeding. Rachel was flown to RPA in Sydney on Thursday for life saving treatment, Sadly ian has now been told that his beautiful wife Rachel is unlikely to survive through this. Ian will continue to stay in Sydney by his wife's side in the ICU. We prayer they are able to make Rachel stable enough to be transported back to Dubbo hospital, to be surrounded by her loved ones.

I know times are tough for everyone, but if you have the means to donate any amount. I know Ian and the kids would be very appreciative to take the financial burden off them, while they go through this very sad time.

UPDATE 7TH SEPTEMBER

By Sarah Wilkinson

It is with heavy hearts and tears in my eyes that I share the news that Rachel has sadly passed away.

She left this world peacefully, with her loving husband Ian by her side as she took her final breaths.

Rachel was deeply loved by all who knew her — her kindness, strength, and warmth touched so many lives. Her presence will be missed more than words can express.

Rachel will be welcomed to heaven with her dad waiting with open arms for his beloved daughter, and her two dogs at her feet..

Ian thanks everyone for their love, support, and prayers during this time.

Please keep Ian, Jensen & Evelyn in your thoughts. As well as all of Rachel & Ian's family as they go through difficult time.
