My name is Bree, and I’ve started this fundraiser to support my beautiful friend and colleague Courtney, her sister Britt and her family as they face an incredibly heartbreaking time.

In February 2025, at just 28 years old, Brittany’s life was turned upside down when she was diagnosed with a rare and very aggressive form of Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML).

What followed has been a relentless and heartbreaking journey of intensive chemotherapy, invasive procedures, a bone marrow transplant and devastating setbacks.

After achieving remission in November 2025, she suffered a relapse just three months later, followed by life threatening infections that left her fighting for her life in intensive care. She spent weeks in a medically induced coma and upon waking, had to rebuild her strength and learn how to walk again.

Throughout it all, Britt has shown extraordinary courage, strength and resilience. Despite every setback, she has continued to fight with determination and hope, surrounded by the unwavering love of her family and friends.

Most recently, after spending three months in hospital, Britt was preparing for a second bone marrow transplant when her family received devastating news. Her leukaemia had progressed aggressively and become resistant to chemotherapy, leaving her with no further treatment options to fight the disease.

This heartbreaking reality has left Britt and her loved ones navigating an incredibly difficult and uncertain chapter. Right now, the family’s greatest priority is being together, surrounding Britt with love, comfort and support, and cherishing the moments with the little time Britt has left.

This GoFundMe has been created to help ease the financial pressures on Britt and her family, including the costs of end of life care and essential equipment to support Britt’s medical needs, as well as future funeral expenses. Donations will also help her loved ones take time away from work to be by her side and, where possible, bring some of Britt’s heartfelt wishes to life.

While we cannot change what this family is facing, together we can help lighten their load, bring joy to Britt’s days and give them the gift of precious time together.

Thank you for supporting Britt and her family.
