Saying Goodbye to Josh

Josh Ruane was a normal happy Cordalba kid until at 15 he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.  After years of fighting the leukemia as well as E-Coli, Rhabdomyolysis (leaving him unable to walk), pneumonia, bone marrow transplants to name a few, Josh came back fighting fit and intent on living a normal life.  His happy face at the Woollies check out was only surpassed by his easy and friendly manner and genuine interest in the people he served.  Josh was an incredible young man who fought and won so many tough battles.  Sadly, during treatment in Sydney, he contracted influenza which was just too much for him and he lost his final battle.  The journey for Josh's family has been one of great triumph and great sadness.  Over such an extended period it has put a huge financial strain on the family and therefore we are asking that people help Josh's family bring him home and put him to rest.  We would like to raise enough funds to cover the cost of Josh's funeral which will be held within the next two weeks.
