One of our own Year 8 students, Monique Ross, raised money for a great cause in September, along with her sister Chloe (Year 11).
The Ross sisters joined the fight against Neurofibromatosis (NF) by fundraising in support of the Children's Tumour Foundation of Australia (CTF) and they have raised more than $2000, which is well above the $500 they had set as a goal. Their seven-year-old sister was recently diagnosed with NF.
“We love our sister so much and we want to do absolutely anything that we can to support her through her journey along with other families that are experiencing this.”
Monique and Chloe had set an aim of walking 5km every day for a month to raise money.
NF is a genetic disorder that causes tumours to grow on nerves, including the brain and spine. It is progressive, unpredictable and there is no cure. You can read more about the sister’s fundraiser HERE.
