<div><strong>Team Colette: Let’s Play Every Position in Her Cancer Fight</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At just 39, Colette should be living the life she loves—teaching at kinder, playing netball for Cudgewa, and cheering on her two beautiful boys, Greyson (6) and Walker (4).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Instead, she is facing not one, but two cancer diagnoses: Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and Stage 4 Metastatic Colorectal Cancer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What started as a sore back led to an initial lymphoma diagnosis, only to later discover the primary source was advanced colorectal cancer.
</div>
<div>Since then, Colette has had to stop working, stepping away from the kinder room she loved and the independence she valued. Her partner, Garon, who works at Snowy Hydro, is now juggling work, caring for Greyson and Walker, and supporting Colette as she faces the toughest fight of her life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>A Small-Town Girl </strong>
</div>
<div>Colette grew up riding horses and working on the family farm, learning the values that come from living in a small, tight-knit community—showing up for your neighbours, lending a hand, and never giving up when times are tough.
</div>
<div>It’s that same spirit she brings to her life now, as a kinder teacher who brightens the days of little ones, and as a steady GS on the netball court for the Cudgewa Football Netball Club. It’s the same club where her son, Greyson, now proudly pulls on the jumper to play footy, just like his mum.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Treatments Giving Colette Hope</strong>
</div>
<div>Colette is currently undergoing a combination of immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and chemotherapy—treatments that together are costing her family $75,000 +, with many of these not covered by Medicare.
</div>
<div>While this is a significant cost, these treatments are giving Colette her best chance to continue fighting both cancers.
</div>
<div>They could help her keep doing the things that bring her joy:
</div>
<div><em>Plan her and Garon’s wedding.</em>
</div>
<div><em>Cheering on Greyson and Walker at footy in years to come.</em>
</div>
<div><em>‍Watching her boys grow up.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Now, We Need Your Help</strong>
</div>
<div>Colette has spent her life caring for others—working in childcare, teaching at kinder, and giving back to her community. Now, it’s our turn to care for her.
</div>
<div>Every donation, no matter how small, will go directly toward Colette’s treatment and living costs while she is unable to work, easing the financial burden on her family and allowing her to focus on what matters most: fighting for more time with Greyson and Walker.
</div>
<div>If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing Colette’s story with your networks so we can reach those who can help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Let’s Play Our Part for Colette</strong>
</div>
<div>On the netball court, the GS often stands steady, focusing on shooting, while everyone else runs to support. Now, it’s our time to play the other positions on the court for Colette, showing up when she needs us most.
</div>
<div>Together, we can give Colette the chance to keep fighting for her boys, her family, and her future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please donate and share today.
