Can you help us save more kids like Lucy?

Lucy’s tumour was caught by chance, literally in the blink of an eye. It is every parent’s worst nightmare.

I’m Sarah, Lucy’s mum. Lucy was just 3 years old when I noticed a lump on her ribcage while dressing her for bed. At first glance, it looked like she had a broken rib, but the lack of bruising or tenderness had me feeling very uneasy. I remember thinking “This is not good”.

After a sleepless night and already fearing the worst, I took Lucy straight to our family doctor the next morning. From there, things moved very quickly and within a few hours we were on our way to Sydney Children’s Hospital for further investigations.

A few days later we received the devastating news that Lucy had Ewing sarcoma, a rare and aggressive type of childhood cancer, with just 30% chance of survival.
