Help Make Pete's White Christmas Wish Come True

My name is Tess, and I am reaching out to you with a heartfelt plea for support.

In 2022, my partner, Peter, was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND/ALS). Unfortunately, Pete's health has deteriorated rapidly, and his doctor has advised him to fulfil his number one bucket list item – experiencing a white Christmas with his two boys – as soon as possible. Pete's diaphragm is failing, and by early next year, he may no longer be in a position to travel.

Pete's sons are scattered across the globe, with his older son residing in the Netherlands and his youngest (15) with his mother in Melbourne. Christmas has always been a time of separation for Pete, and we are determined to change that this year.

We have initiated a GoFundMe page to raise funds for Pete's dream Christmas reunion. Understandably, times are tough for many families both financially and emotionally. However, we believe in the power of community and kindness, and any contribution, no matter how small, will bring us closer to making Pete's dream a reality.

If you would like to learn more about Pete's wish or his current condition, I am more than willing to chat with you over the phone. MND/ALS is a relentless and cruel adversary, impacting not only Pete but also our entire family.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Your support means the world to us.
