A party of a lifetime! Fundraiser Night!

Last Saturday night was a party of a lifetime for me. Words cannot describe how blessed I am to have have wonderful family and friends attend the event and the businesses and people who I've never met come down and celebrate my life and help raise money and awareness of my fight against GBM. It still shows that there are some amazing people in this world, who are willing to give rather than recieve. I think this life has so many good people and you know what? Good things happen to good people too! My wonderful sister Sarah, brother in law Michael and my other amazing sister Amanda organised an Fundraiser to help support myself and my family to raise money to help with expensive medical treatment and help raise money to help me through this Clinical Trail I am on. I love you guys so much, to Heaven and Earth and back!

This amazing night was held at the Hidden Valley Golf & Country Club with around 250 people attending with lots of auction prizes, raffles and the amazing Crossway band blasting some awesome 80s music. It was a night to celebrate life, be thankful for the loved ones we have and the time we have on this earth. My sister made an amazing speech saying 'You shouldn't wait until you got cancer to go live your life, if you have a grudge or a problem with someone go fix it, life is way to short'. Everyone was happy and it made me feel really special. I was so happy I got to make it after treatment and got to spend and see as much people as I possibly could.

I would like to take this oppurtinity to thank everyone who came to the night and the businesses who made this happen. It was definitely awesome seeing community at it's best. You have all made a contribution that is going to help me fight against this terrible disease. Not only are you all helping me fight this medically, you are restoring dreams in my life. Just the things in life, like a chance of being a future Dad or getting through University or getting a job back. Extending my life. You also have given other cancer patients hope and awareness for Brain Cancer.

Please stay in tuned for photos and updates. If you live in Northern Victoria you can find it all in the local paper for the 'Free Review'.

Bless you all!

2017- baby on the way and new career!

I seriously can't believe where has the time gone? Sometimes when you live in the moment you forget what the time is and things slip past you! My gosh it's been a long time writing a blog and can't believe it's coming to the end of 2017. So many incredible exciting things to share. My wife and I have announced we are having a baby boy! With the grace of God we are thrilled and can't wait to start this new chapter of our lives, just to think going back to the early days of chemotherapy and radiation oncology wouldn't think ever I would get this far, especially all the wonderful people for whom I have met along the way and many of them who have been on this journey with the same diagnosis who have passed away. I'm always thinking of them a raising a glass of scotch when I can to them. I miss them so much So can't believe its nearly the end of 2017, new beginnings on the approach. I can't wait to be a father, and be a good father to my little boy. M

I GOT ENGAGED

Hi everyone. Its been too long since I have been blogging away and I am going to start posting more and more and catch up to speed with everything. I have been up and down on an emotional eventful roller coaster the last few months, and cant wait to express everything that has happened. The title says it all! Yes a few weeks ago I took my girl for a mini holiday to the beautiful serenity of the alpine regions of Bright Victoria, yet little did she know I was going to propose to her. Jessica said yes such powerful emotions and love was shown that holiday and having such a terrible year an engagement and planning a wedding is enough to emotionally defeat the evils of cancer. The miracle of love ay. We have been dating for a long time and saying I love you all the time it was finally great to put that into concrete so planning an engagement party and a wedding has put me into a good emotional head space. Yet even though planning it I am now up to my 3rd cycle of Chemothearpy treatment

Good news, a holiday and another step forward

Hello everyone! It's been super ages since I wrote a blog page. It's been such an eventful few weeks with everything. Alot of close family and friends would know, but I would like to announce a fantastic victory in my hands. Recently, I had my MRI. As always I was nervous and very anxious. As MRI's determine your fate and can indicate if the tumor is responding. I'll cut to the chase, as soon as I got the MRI scan and my Oncologist came into the room with a big smile on his face. My tumor had shrunk by at least 40%! My tumor is responding to treatment! Praise God! Thank-you Jesus. Ten significant long months of fighting this blasted disease and finally got some good results. This was amazing, I felt like a thousand bricks lifted up and I slept for days as I was battled weary. For more information on this story, my awesome friend Jackson Miller who is going to become an outstanding Journalist has written an article about it. Here is the link. http://newsroom.macl
