Helping Gabe's fight against MND
On Monday the 31st July 2017 the devastating news was confirmed that Gabe does have MND
Motor Neurones Disease also known as ALS.
This is a horrible disease that slowly degenerates the nerve cells controlling the muscles that enables Gabe to move, speak, swallow and breathe.
These nerves eventually fail and will leave Gabe unable to do anything.
This is going to be a very hard time financially and emotionally for Gabe and her family.
There is no treatment and no cure at this stage and very few trials.
And tragically a life expectancy of 2-5 years is generally given.
We are hoping to raise as much as we can to help ease the financial pressures they will endure,
also to make sure they can have as much quality time together as possible as they battle Gabe's fight against MND.
As the battle begins with Gabe's fight against MND this family have also been battling with Gabe's husband Colin in his fight against Melanoma, in which he has to travel to Brisbane each fortnight for treatment,
while he continues to work at this stage Gabe will need him to be there for her as she fights this terrible disease.
Gabe has been a vital member of the local Australian Rules Football club, The Yeppoon Swans.
Her dedication to the club is one of the few reasons the club is riding a wave of success.
Gabe has held many roles at the club from Head trainer/
first aid officer for senior and junior sides to canteen helper. Gabe dedicated a lot of time to the Swans club assisting in whatever needed doing training nights, game days and after game day recovery even if it was just to help clean the clubhouse .
Gabe even played in the First Ladies side which laided the platform for many women to join the ranks of ladies football.
So we ask if you could dig deep and assist us in any way to help Gabe's fight against MND and also to make sure they can have as much quality time together as possible as they battle Gabe's fight against MND.
