Less than 12 months ago my family received the worst news possible. On the 26th of February 2018, my dad told my sister, mother and myself that he had just been diagnosed with stage 4 small cell lung cancer. Anytime you hear the word cancer, unfortunately, it is not very often that hope is the first thing you think of. My Dad, Paul Toohey a loved father, brother, partner and friend passed away less than 1 month ago. Dad fought hard with positivity and he remained positive no matter what hurdle was thrown at him. This year myself and my family have decided to take part in the Fiona Elsey Ballarat Cycle Classic in honour of Dad. This is obviously a fundraiser that is very close to our hearts and I myself have personally donated to the cause. I am not one to ask for money or donations but in this case, I am asking anyone who sees this post to donate even if it is just a dollar as every dollar counts.

Thankyou
