For IVY'S 5TH BIRTHDAY 2021

I’ve taken a stand against blood cancer.

IvyRiver will be celebrating her 5th big girl birthday on the 16/6 . This year her birthday celebrations will be a little different as her favourite human (mine too) unfortunately won't be well enough to attend. We can't imagine a birthday without our #1  right beside Ivy helping her blow out her candles🥺 and our hearts ache knowing that 47 Australians will know that they have blood cancer by the end of today — and for the 47 families who will face the same devastating news tomorrow. 

We're still in disbelief that our little family has been personally rocked by this devastating diagnosis and now apart of this statistic.


IvyRiver is hoping she's able to raise $100 for every year of her life,in honour of our Favourite persons life, and 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. 

The money she raises 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 Ivy River your support by donating to our fundraising campaign. 


Thank you.

Much love 🧡
