Please join us for an afternoon of flute and piano music as we raise funds for The Children's Hospital at Westmead in memory of Abby
Cheeky. Sassy. Master of the side eye. Abby had just the sort of personality that made you desperate to win her over.
Abby was born with an extremely rare genetic condition that affected the use of her muscles, known as Charcot Marie Tooth Type 2s or Spinal Muscular Atrophy with Respiratory Distress type 1 (CMT2S/SMARD1). Abby couldn't stand or walk and it was difficult for her to fend off common viruses due to weak breathing muscles.
Despite spending much of her life in and out of hospital, Abby was plucky and resilient. However, her last cold was ultimately too much for her and she passed away this time last year, shortly after her 3rd birthday. Tough and tenacious, Abby was a fighter to the end.
Abby's family is deeply grateful for the loving care and support they received at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead. The indelible impression that this world-class institution left on her mum Donna, dad Donny and brother Ashley, has inspired them to continue Abby's legacy through their fundraising for the SCHF.
Your generous donation will go to the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit at The Children's Hospital at Westmead and touch the lives of other families when they need it most.
We are so thankful for your support.
