Running for Kai - Cancer Warrior
Donación protegida
I have decided to commit to running the Sydney marathon with just four weeks to train, why you ask?
Because we have been deeply touched with the story of a warrior called Kai Nell, this Perth based little fella is battling hard for the 2nd time, and we want to support him and his family, by pushing the boundaries and completing a 42k marathon run and what right now seems impossible.
We have never run a marathon previously, so this challenge is obviously big anyway, especially given the short notice, but we are prepared to do it for Kai, his parents and his brothers by complete this grueling run for them.
Kai's story;
Early in 2015, at just 2 years of age little warrior Kai Nell was diagnosed with High Risk Acute Myeloid Leukaemia, he fought a tough battle with 4 rounds of high dose chemo and a life saving bone marrow transplant.
After spending over 6 months living in an isolation room at PMH he got to go home, he was in remission but the journey was not over, AML is a notoriously hard cancer to cure and relapse is common, and after nearly 1 year since his bone marrow transplant, his parents Kara and Richard have been given the devastating news that he has relapsed in recent weeks.
This means little Kai has to undergo more intensive chemo treatment and another bone marrow transplant, he has a huge fight ahead of him.
Throughout Kai's diagnosis and treatment to date, Kara and Richard have selflessly raised over $50,000 for charities wanting to bring awareness and funding to this awful disease.
Now they are faced with the biggest hurdle to date and I'm sure, like myself, many of you feel helpless and desperate to help.
The treatment is gruelling and requires at least one of them to be in the isolation room in hospital with Kai 24/7 for many months.
We hope to raise money for the Nell family to ease the financial pressure on them so they can concentrate on taking care of Kai and their other 3 boys during this extremely difficult time.
Our target is $5000 dollars but we hope to smash that so please share and donate (every little bit helps!) and together we can help support this beautiful family in their time of need.
The money raised will help Kai's parents be able to concentrate on Kai getting well and fighting this wicked disease called cancer.
From the bottom of our hearts we humbly ask that you share this link with friends and family and if possible in giving (any amount will help).
We thank you for your support.
Much love,
Paul O'Shaughnessy
