LIAM'S JOURNEY

In May of 2006 we lost Matt, Liam's Dad after a courageous battle with a brain tumour, he was 34 years old. In April of 2008 we got the devastating news that 7 year old Liam had an extremely rare form of cancer in his sinus cavity. This blog is where we can update you on Liam's progess with his brave battle. "If children have the ability to ignore all odds and percentages, then maybe we can all learn from them."

After we dragged our bodies out of bed today (for some of us it was 9.45!) and got organised, we toddled off to Orana Park.  The vote for favourite animals were the baby giraffe and the rhinocerous’s (or is that rhinoceri?).  A fabulous day was finished off with an ice cream.  The wind was a bit […]
