Hope for Phoebe

14/04/2026

Phoebe has had a couple of hospital admissions within the last week.
Her most recent was for her heart. Unfortunately her heart is not good and they were unable to help her through a cath lab procedure (through groin much less invasive) it's not the news I'm hoped for at all 💔but on a positive note we were lucky to see Harry and Megan after Phoebe was discharged today.
There were lots of smiling faces today and that's a win in a often very sad place.
They were both very kind and caring towards the kids

A very big thank you to Jessie and Kimmy Sal and Jessie Skvarc for organising the art for Phoebe auction. There was such a cool mix of art. You can check out the artists and other work they have through the auction link.
It was so great to see lots of bids!
And a very special thank you to all of the artists who donated their artwork.

Good Friday Appeal 2026

So grateful to The Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne for the care and support they’ve given and continue to give Phoebe and I over the past three years

A huge thank you to everyone donating today and holding fundraising events 🙏 You help kids like Phoebe, and so many others who need it.

RCH has saved Phoebe’s life multiple times allowing me to have all this precious time with her 🥹
While we still have challenges ahead, I will always be so thankful for everything they’ve done for her and continue to do for all the children and families who find themselves there. 🫶

I am just putting the feelers out to see if anyone out there would either like to stay at my place in return of looking after Abby while we are overseas for Phoebe’s surgery or if anyone would have a nice comfy warm space in your home for her while I'm away.

I can't tell you how long I'll be away but I would estimate a minimum of 3 weeks but depending on Phoebe this could end up being longer
Most likely from mid May.

A bit about Abby.
Sleeps inside on the end of my bed. But she can and will sleep on her bed if you want but only ever sleeps inside.
She doesn't bark except to tell the dogs through the fence whos boss.
House trained.
Happy to be outside during the day.
Shes a sweet old girl and sleeps a bit these days.
Loves her walks and can be fiesty toward other dogs.

She will be ok with other dogs if introduced slowly.
No puppies or intense dogs. Preferably bigger dogs.
Cats, chickens are safe.

Snores.
Tolerant to toddlers lol.
Please private message me if you can help 🙏🩷

PLEASE come support me at the Sweat for a Cause 24-hour challenge! 💪 at VIBE Fitness Studios Geelong

I’ll be attempting 10 workouts in 24 hours (which is slightly terrifying because I am definitely not a gym girl 😅) but I’m doing it for Phoebe, helping raise funds for Phoebe’s surgery and The Shaka Project.

If you’d like to join in, you can come along and do a workout or 10 with me

Feel free to bring a friend the more the merrier!

If you’ve never done a class before thats ok, I promise it’s not as scary as it might seem, if I can do it, anyone can.

Details:
💥 $20 per class
💥 $60 for unlimited classes across the full 24 hours

Every dollar raised goes directly to the charities, you’ll be supporting two really important causes.

If you just want to come cheer us on there will be raffles, auctions, kids activities, food vans and coffee carts, so it should be a really fun day and night.

I’ll be there for as much of it as I can.
I’ll post the registration link in the comments if you’d like to sign up.
Come get sweaty for a good cause 🫶
