Hi my name is Jacinda, my sister Cherie Lovegrove has very recently been diagnosed with an incurable, grade 4 Glioma also known as Glioblastoma.

World Health Organisation classified grade 4 Glioma, is the most aggressive type of brain cancer, characterized by rapid growth and poor prognosis.

Cherie has had a Craniotomy to remove the initial tumour successfully and will now be starting chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Her multi-disciplinary team and Cherie will be fighting to extend life expectancy and maintain quality of life with her family.

This will be a long and challenging time for the family as there is no known cure to date.

Since her first seizure in June and many medical issues prior to the diagnosis of Gliobastoma, she has not been able to work and Marcus has had to take extended time off to support Cherie and the children. As you can imagine, this has taken a huge emotional and financial toll.

To navigate this critical time in their lives, I have created this Go Fund Me to help Cherie, her husband Marcus and their two children, Laney and Kyron.

Your donations will help the Lovegrove family in the immediate future and to be able to setup the necessary health care plans it requires to manage this life threatening cancer. This will also provide the capacity to access any medical trials outside of Western Australia as they become available.

Your kindness will be greatly appreciated no matter how big or small.

Please feel free to share this page to spread the word of the family's challenges ahead, and support the quality of life for Cherie, Marcus, Laney and Kyron Lovegrove.

Thanking you,

Jacinda Flintoff
