Our Beautiful Girl Olivia

60 Minutes to Save the Kids Affected by Neuroblastoma

Posted by Kirsty Lambert
Our family thanks you for your generous support of this great cause. Neuroblastoma is a rare and aggressive form of childhood cancer and your contribution will help researchers move one step closer to finding a cure for this devastating disease.

Olivia's diagnosis has had such a profound impact on our family but we continue to be inspired by the amazing strength and courage of our beautiful daughter. She fills our lives with so much love and happiness and the prospect of losing her is absolutely unbearable. However, we will never give up and continue to hope and pray that she will be well again some day. We are committed to raising public awareness of neuroblastoma and hope to raise as much money as we can so that these beautiful children and their families no longer have to suffer.

If you are interested in reading about Olivia's journey, please visit our blog at www.our-beautiful-girl.blogspot.com. Our new website www.olivialambert.com.au is currently under construction - please stay tuned.

Olivia has been undergoing treatment at the Centre for Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders at Sydney Children's Hospital. For more information on the CCC&BD, please feel free to view the following video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ere4K-OI6Ec

Watch 60 Minutes this coming Sunday, July 20 to see Olivia's story.

July 30 - Our heartfelt thanks goes out to everyone who has contributed to our appeal. We have been deeply moved by your messages of support and encouragement. I often read them out to Olivia, which really brings a smile to her face.


Sydney Childrens Hospital Randwick Centre for Childrens Cancer and Blood Disorders

The Centre for Children’s Cancer and Blood Disorders (CCC&BD) at the Sydney Children’s Hospital, Randwick is an internationally recognised centre of excellence that has been caring for patients from Sydney, NSW and further afield for over 50 years. Our team is dedicated to finding new ways of treating and curing children with cancer. We conduct vital research into novel anticancer drugs, making survivors healthier, and improving the psychological health of children and their families treated by us. Childhood cancer is still the second most common cause of death in children. Whilst we can cure 80% of children with cancer, this comes at some physical and psychological cost to the child and their family. Our team remain dedicated to continuing improvements in both cure rates and the quality of life for affected children and their families, and continue to strive to reach our goal of 100% cure. We need your help to reach our goals!
