AND THATS A WRAP

With the raffle earning over $600 on the Friday night I would like to thank all who have donated and taken the time to raise awareness for Leukeamia. To all the local businesses that the pub brought together, to all our friends and families. And all the businesses who put sponsorship up for the WGQHA Team penning show. Absolutely astounded with the generosity.

WGQHA team penning show

We would like to thank the committee members of WGQHA Team Penning Group, for taking our sponsors on for their event this Saturday, 17th of February. 

With our sponsors donating in from our postponed event instead and our donations so far we have raised over 3,000 dollars! Thankyou to those that support our fight against Leukeamia and supporting the families in need

Joel’s health

Update on Joel’s health! Joel has unfortunately returned positive to leukaemia again, taking him out of remission. He is on the wait list for another bone marrow transplant! 

This is why your support to our cause is incredibly important. Joel is monitoring his health and slowing down at work 

I’ve taken a stand against blood cancer.

Today, more than 53 Australians will be told that they have blood cancer and tomorrow - another 53 families will be devastated by the same news.

I have created this page to raise vital funds to help provide the special care that is needed to get families through a blood cancer diagnosis as well as to help fund more game-changing research into this disease. 


In 2022 my partner Joel Hein was diagnosed with Leukeamia, spent months in hospital after the birth of our baby boy Colton, he went through several rounds of chemo & radiation, 2 weeks on death row in ICU on lung support, to recovering and having a bone marrow transplant to reach remission in 2023. 

Nothing could have prepared us to go through that. Joel now in remission spends his time working, enjoying good food & furthering his riding. He also for the first time competed in team penning this year, placing 4th.

Running an event at J & J Equine is our way of giving back to the organisations that supporting not only Joel but our entire family at home and care in the hospital, through something we love doing as a hobby & compete in. 

The money we raise will help provide care for those in need right now — and it will back the brightest researchers to continue uncovering faster diagnoses and better treatments to save lives. 

Please show me your support by donating to my fundraising campaign.

Unfortunately our jackpot show was cancelled, but the lovely members at WGQHA Team penning have agreed to show off ours sponsors at their show and continue our campaign to raise funds to support those in need!
