C.H.A.I.L.I.S. (Children Having an Illness Living in Sunraysia) has announced a fundraising event for the months of June and July.
Twelve-year-old Michele Dichiera is one of 20 known cases around the world suffering with Giant Cell Angioblastoma and believed to be the only person in Australia born with the condition.
Treatments have so far been ineffective, and the family is facing substantial medical bills each month for a trial medication.
The other option is to amputate Michele’s foot.
John Burfitt from C.H.A.I.L.I.S. has set an ambitious target of raising $15,000 in June & July in support of the Mildura youngster.
The community can join them for “5,000 steps for Michele” in June and July and help them help this local family.
It is as easy as doing 5,000 and making a donation into the C.H.A.I.L.I.S. account.
You could do 5,000 steps per day and donate $5 each day!
Or walk 5,000 steps and make a larger donation for a single day.
100% of the funds raised from this campaign will be distributed to Michele’s family.
