Kirk is a brave and resilient 11 year boy who is facing his brain tumour journey with heart and a sense of humour. What a kid!

On Friday 8th March 2024 Kirk was diagnosed with an untreatable brain tumour (DIPG) in the brain stem. He became symptomatic over the past few months which lead to numerous tests and the diagnosis.

We hope this give a little page will give the beautiful de Ridder family financial assistance to give them the chance to support Kirk over this time.

Kirk is kind, adventurous boy who loves the outdoors. He loves hunting with his Dad, has a passion for his pony Albie and rodeo. He's a big brother to Tessa and Flynn and a loved friend to many.
