Our beautiful participant, Jacinta, is raising funds for pancreatic cancer research in loving memory of her precious Mumma, Julie. 💜

Throughout September, Jacinta will walk and run an incredible 78 kilometres and she would be so grateful for your support. Every donation, share and word of encouragement will help her honour her mum’s memory and make a difference for families affected by pancreatic cancer.

Jacinta, your mum would be so incredibly proud of you and all of us at Among the Gumtrees are, too.

We also want you to know that you are never a burden, (even with your million messages 😛 )in fact, it’s quite the contrary, while no one could ever replace your beautiful Mumma, I want to say how much of an absolute privilege it is to wrap our arms around her precious girl and support you in Julies absence.

You are deeply valued & cherished by us here at ATG and you will never have to walk alone,
we’re so proud of you!. 💜

👇🏼👇🏼PLEASE DONATE HERE👇🏼👇🏼
👇🏼👇🏼EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS 👇🏼👇🏼
