Fionia Strain

Why I need your Supprt 🩷🩷

💗 My story & why I’m taking on this challenge

Hi my name is Fionia and I’m a mum to 4 kids .. 

At almost 43 years old, I never imagined I’d be writing these words… I’ve recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. 

Next week, my life changes again as I begin chemotherapy. I’ll need to take some time away from work while I focus on getting through treatment. My current treatment journey is expected to continue through to February, when I’ll undergo surgery, followed by further chemotherapy and radiation over the months that follow.

It’s a long hard road but definitely one I never expected to be walking.

I’m incredibly grateful to have my partner, my family, friends, work mates and the people I love beside me. ❤️ They are my strength, my support and the reason I keep looking forward.  

But something positive has come from this diagnosis too. Cancer research has come such a long way, and I’m so incredibly grateful for the amazing oncology team caring for me and helping me through what is going to be one of the biggest mental battles of my life.

That’s why I’ve decided to take on this challenge and raise money for Cancer Council — to help fund vital cancer research, prevention programs and support services for people and families affected by cancer.

If you can donate, no matter how big or small, I would be incredibly grateful. Every dollar helps researchers keep searching for better treatments, better outcomes and, hopefully one day, a cancer-free future.

And if you can’t donate, simply sharing my fundraiser or cheering me on means more than you know. 🩷

I’m taking this one day , one treatment and one step at a time.

Here’s to fighting, hoping and believing in better tomorrows. 🎀🩷

It’s all of us against cancer.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting me. 🫶🎀 it really means the world to me love you all 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
