I’m fundraising for Cancer Council Victoria to help stop cancer.
Every year more than 35,000 Victorians hear the words ‘you have cancer’.
Now, imagine hearing those words 'you have cancer' and having to go through cancer treatment during Melbourne's COVID lockdowns without all your friends and family around you. It's hard to imagine, right?
When this happened to some of our friends we felt completely helpless.
Our birthday celebration is an opportunity to raise some dollars and give hope for a cancer free future. Funds contribute to funding life-saving cancer treatments, prevention programs, and support services that ensure no one has to face cancer alone.
For us, music gets us through everything and words from 4 non blondes 'what's up' reminds us of the rollercoaster of life, and we can only image the rollercoaster faced by those living with cancer. Plus it's an awesome song to 'belt-out' at the top of your lungs.
Here are some of the lyrics:
"....my life is still, trying to get up that great big hill of hope - for a destination...so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed, just to get it all out what's in my head - and I, I am feeling a little peculiar, and so I wake in the morning and I step outside, and I take a deep breath and I get real high and I scream from the top of my lungs what's going on...and I said HEY, YEAH, YEAH, HEY, YEAH, YEAH, I said HEY what's going on?...."
Thank you to everyone for your generous donation and birthday wishes. A big cheers to you all!
Brett and Marina xx
