Our lives were shattered when my wife, Tracey, was diagnosed with metastatic triple negative breast cancer — while she was pregnant with our baby.

What should have been one of the happiest times of our lives became a nightmare. Instead of planning for a new baby, we were thrown into scans, hospital rooms, and conversations no family should ever have to face. We were told the cancer had already spread, and everything changed in an instant.

Tracey gave birth to our beautiful daughter, Avery. That moment should have been pure joy. Instead, it came with urgency, fear, and the knowledge that treatment could not wait. Tracey has not yet been able to come home, and every day in hospital is another day she is separated from her family.

Tracey’s cancer is aggressive. It has spread to her lower spine and femur. This is stage 4 cancer. She has started chemotherapy, undergone radiation to her lower spine, and required urgent surgery after the cancer weakened her femur to the point it was close to breaking. A femoral nail now holds her leg together, with more radiation still ahead.

Despite everything — childbirth, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and weeks confined to a hospital bed — Tracey is not surrendering. She is choosing to fight. She is choosing treatment. She is choosing pain, exhaustion, and uncertainty because the alternative is unthinkable. She is fighting to stay here — for Avery, for Finley, for Harper, and for the life she still wants to live.

At home, Finley and Harper are trying to understand why Mum hasn’t come back yet. They ask when they can see her, why she’s always in hospital, and when things will be normal again. We don’t have answers that make sense to a child.

I have stepped away from work to live between hospital wards and home — to be with Tracey, to care for Avery, and to support Finley and Harper through something no family should ever have to endure. The emotional weight is crushing. The financial pressure is relentless.

This GoFundMe exists because we cannot carry this alone. It helps cover travel, accommodation, medical-related costs, and everyday living expenses while Tracey remains hospitalised and in active treatment. Most importantly, it allows me to stay by her side and keep our family together while she fights with everything she has.

If you can donate, share this page, or keep Tracey in your thoughts, please know it truly matters. Your support is helping us survive a moment that feels impossible.

Thank you for standing with us.
