<div>Hi everyone,
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>We’re setting up this fundraiser for someone incredibly important to us. Julian Hovenden, a loving husband, dad of three, a hard-working self-employed tradie, and one of the strongest people we know.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 2019, on his 30th birthday, Julian was diagnosed with Stage 4 Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. He endured six months of chemotherapy and an additional year of maintenance treatment. It was a long, difficult road, but Julian overcame it with courage, grit, and the support of his beautiful wife Nicole and their young family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, in June 2024, the cancer returned.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Julian began a chemotherapy trial in August, which helped temporarily. But in May 2025, scans confirmed the cancer had become resistant to treatment. Now, he’s facing the fight of his life, starting R-CHOP chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant on June 16th.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This treatment will be long, intense, and exhausting. Following treatment, a hospital stay of up to 100 days will follow. Julian will need up to 12 months off work, isolated while his immune system rebuilds.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a self-employed family man, Julian won’t be able to work during treatment and recovery. That leaves his wife Nicole to carry not only the emotional load of caring for him and their children, but also the full financial weight of day-to-day life. They are doing everything they can, but they need help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re asking you to please consider supporting the Hovenden family during this incredibly difficult time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation will help cover basic living expenses: rent, groceries, and utilities, school needs and everyday costs for the kids, travel and out-of-pocket medical costs and breathing room for a family facing the unknown.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Julian is one of the most hardworking and generous people we know. Even while undergoing treatment, he's still putting in big hours, and already planning his return to work.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let’s help give back to a mate who would never ask for this kind of support, but deeply needs it. Your generosity, no matter how big or small, will make a real lasting difference to Julian, Nicole, and their kids during the months ahead.
</div>
