Pledge 450

Can you help me make a difference?

Hi there,

This April, I am taking on the Childhood Cancer Association's - Pledge 450

Why?  Each year, around 450 families rely on the Childhood Cancer Association for emotional and practical support following a childhood cancer diagnosis. 

On 31st of May 2024, my family was one of these 450 families that was so grateful to be offered the support from Childhood Cancer Association. My son, Thomas was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic leukemia 2 weeks after his 4th birthday. This news absolutely blew our world apart. We have accessed their services in ways such as financial support, siblings programs for both Thomas's sisters which are held every school holidays, attended the Christmas Party which was an incredibly special day where we made so many happy memories and more recently utilised their counselling services. 


Our Pledge 450 will be to bake 450 treats. Since Tom's diagnosis, we have started up a cookbook and like to bake treats for the incredible team at the Womens and Childrens Hospital.


Childhood Cancer Association offer over 30 services including counselling, accommodation for country families, support groups, equipment loans and educational support.  

Please help me reach my goal by making a donation through my page.  It only takes a minute and any money you can give (no matter how large or small) will go a long way to helping me reach my target.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, we really appreciate your support with supporting this incredible cause!

#18 HAPPY EASTER 🐣 🐰

Sunday 20th Apr
#18 - Banana Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting Made: 18 Total: 363 / 450 We are on the home run with 10 days to go to finish my pledge. We need to bake another 87 treats which is achievable - the hard part is deciding which recipes to bake. This recipe that we used is a healthy version of a banana cupcake and uses honey as the sweetener. It got the thumbs up from 2 of the hardest critics Sophie and Maddie 🤣🤣🤣 I think it will be added to the recipe book as it's pretty tasty. The cream cheese and honey frosting 100% finishes it off although according to Maddie, they are still 10/10 without it. These will be a perfect addition to take to our family shack tomorrow . We haven't been since Jan 2024 (pre leukemia diagnosis) so fingers crossed it all goes smoothly ♥️

#13 - Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Icing Cupcakes Made: 29 Total: 220 / 450 After a busy weekend babysitting our beautiful niece and nephew, Soph and I decided to get our bake on.

Saturday 29th Mar
#11 - Aunty Mavis's Anzac Biscuits Made: 20 Total: 171/450 We got home from a Birthday party today and I had the urge to bake Anzac Biscuits. I remembered a recipe I got from my husbands Aunty Mavis back in 2011 when we were in the Hunter Valley for a wedding.. Cue the crazy search to find the recipe that I had taken photos of. Eventually I found it on a hard drive (which was almost the size of a brick 🤣🤣 - technology has come a long way in 14 years). Needless to say, it was worth the look and these biscuits are delicious! ❤️❤️

To hear a diagnosis of cancer for a child is the most painful a parent can experience. Our adult daughter was diagnosed with cancer in 2024 and although not a child, she is our “little” girl. So I would like to donate to further research .
