My Story
I am fundraising for the NRF. Please help me raise money for this great cause!
Journey
05/04/23 9:50pm
We are fundraising in memory of a very special Mum, Wife, Sister, Auntie and friend to many.
Five years ago this August 24th, we lost my Mum, Denise Knutsen, suddenly after what we felt like a very brief battle with Brain Cancer, with a relatively positive prognosis. From finding a 5cm tumor on her brain, to no longer having her with us was only 4 weeks to the day. Despite a successful surgery, a minor setback in ICU a week later and then ready for rehabilitation 2 weeks after that, we were told she had a Grade 2 tumor with an 8 – 10 year life expectancy and no treatment required at that time. Therefore, we could not have seen coming her passing the following day.
Since Mum’s passing, I have been on a mission to grow my hair long as possible to raise funds and donate my hair for it to be made into a wig for a Cancer patient. For those of you who know me well or have known me a long time, you will also know I have had long hair most of my life and am very proud of my hair. So, I cannot think of a better way to give back to those who need it most and raise important funds not only into Brain Cancer research, but Brain Trauma and post care research, so that stories like ours may have a different outcome.
It is for this reason we have chosen NRF as the Research Foundation to receive any funds we raise from our “Gett’n Wiggy With It” Fundraising event.
We will be holding our “Mane” Event on Saturday 26th August to commemorate Mum’s 5th Anniversary, in which my locks will be cut by Mum’s hairdresser of 15 years.
In the meantime, we are calling upon the support and generosity of family and friends to help us raise funds and reach our goal of $2500 for the NeuroSurgical Research Foundation.
Thanking you all in advance.
