    Update: We’ve just come back from an unforgettable trip to Brisbane for Bluey’s World, and we’re still smiling. Hartleigh got to experience the fun, the excitement, and the kind of joy that feels bigger than words.

    A big thank you to the Novotel Southbank, the Bluey’s World management, and Australia Zoo for helping make this such a special experience. And to our wonderful friends and family in Brisbane—thank you for the warm welcome, the love, and for helping us feel at home.

    Thank you also to everyone who helped make this possible through the Child cancer foundation and the huljich grant —this trip meant so much to our Hartleigh, and we’ll be carrying the memories with us every day. More photos and updates coming soon!

    We’re excited to share an update:

    Hartleigh has been granted a trip to Bluey’s World*, fully covered through the Cancer Foundation and the **Huljick Foundation** grants.

    # Hartleigh’s Update

    Hartleigh is very excited we’ve received *passports* and an *itinerary* for Brisbane to attend Bluey’s World.

    Along with this, we’re also hoping to visit **Australia Zoo** and spend time with her sister in Brisbane making the most of her Bluey holiday.

    Thank You

    We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has helped make this happen. Your support has truly made a difference, and Hartleigh is living her number one bucket list choice.

    Where We Go From Here

    Hartleigh is doing *okay* at present, and we’re enjoying every moment we can. We can’t wait to post photos from this amazing trip and share the experience as it unfolds.

    Thank you again, everyone.

  • Hartleigh update

    Hello everyone,

    We wanted to share an update on Hartleigh’s journey. After many heartfelt and difficult conversations, her dad and I have made the decision not to proceed with radiotherapy or chemotherapy. We believe this is in Hartleigh’s best interests, as these treatments would significantly impact her quality of life without offering a cure. Our priority is for Hartleigh to be as comfortable, peaceful, and stress‑free as possible, surrounded by the love of her family and friends for the time we have together. Moving forward, we have finally been connected with a social worker and are beginning to work through how we can best support Hartleigh and give her everything she wishes for within her own environment. We are still waiting for confirmation from Hartleigh’s surgeon so that Make‑A‑Wish can move forward. At the very top of Hartleigh’s bucket list is a trip to Bluey’s World. Because Hartleigh is under five, she doesn’t qualify for a full Make‑A‑Wish travel package, so this trip will need to be funded through her Givealittle page. She does qualify for a wish box, waiting given final confirmation.

    We want to sincerely thank everyone for the love, kindness, well wishes, and donations of all kinds. Your support means more to us than we can ever express. We will do our best to keep this page updated.

    On a brighter note, Hartleigh is very excited and looking forward to her big party at kindy this Friday.

    Thank you all for continuing to walk alongside us on this journey. 💛
