About The Fundraiser and Carol

This event was created to help us fundraise more money towards Carols lymphedema surgery which costs $75,000...

We started this fundraiser last year to help reduce the financial stress which comes with the surgery.

Carol is truly an inspiration in life to myself and others as she has often shown so much resiliency in life being born with spine bifida, this means she has never been able to walk but in life...

She spent a long amount of time using crutches before transitioning to a wheelchair later in life, she has always shown up in life with curiosity, enthusiasm and an ability to give anything a go like skiing with an altered seat and skis for stability, travelling even if this meant struggling to get up steps with her crutches in places that weren’t accessible and being so selfless in the past raising her only son (me) as a single parent while working to provide for us.

The Surgery is to reduce the fluid buildup in her legs, with one leg being exactly 7 litres heavier than the other.

This dramatically impacts her mobility while trying to manoeuvre around with the excess weight causing lower back issues, the lymphedema cutting off nerve connections, blood flow issues, muscle connection issues, inflammation challenges and creating extra fatigue in day to day life.

Carol is a proud and independent woman who wanted to just let it go and just deal with it over time, but I thought why not just put this out into the community to share it with our friends, family and strangers who may be able to help assist us in raising some money to help to go towards this cause.

If there's anyone in this world who has had a rough time in life, helps others before herself and deserves the help it's my mother Carol.

Unfortunately, this is a new surgery and isn’t offered publicly, she doesn’t have private health care insurance and the insurance may not even cover this due to a few specifics in the fine print of private health insurance.

This surgery price would include the surgery, rehabilitation, hospital stay and expenses.

Currently we are sitting at $26,000 and if we get enough numbers, sponsorships and VIP Tables sold we should get to our goal of $75,000!

We can't make this happen without you and would love your support, so please join us for an amazing night and be apart of this journey with us as we aim to hit our goal of $75,000 raised!
