Great Southern Land - A Calendar for Lily - 2014 Charity Fundraising Calendar
Amount Raised - $8,848.84
My annual fund-raising photographic calendar for 2014, a collaboration was in support of a very special little girl.
Lily was the daughter of close family friends. She was just like any normal 8 year old girl. A big Essendon supporter, she loved her basketball, watching MasterChef and was a caring, thoughtful and loving big sister to her two younger brothers, Ollie and Archer.
In July 2013, Lily was diagnosed with Hepatoblastoma, a rare form of liver cancer, and over the next 13 months underwent several operations, and several rounds of chemotherapy and radiation treatment in an attempt to beat the disease, and although she did go into remission in January 2014, she relapsed again shortly after and passed away at the age of 9 years in August of 2014.
Throughout her whole ordeal, Lily continued to smile and laugh and inspired the people around her by displaying an unwavering determination, strength and positive attitude towards beating her disease.
All profits from the sale of this year's calendar were donated to Lily's parents to assist them in providing her with a fantastic life experience opportunity in early 2014 when she was in remission.

The camp is an opportunity that not only enables the children of the SOS Village Beau Bassin to holiday with their family and participate in loads of fun activities, but also lets them know that they are special and that there are people in the world who care about them.
