Addy’s Story

Addison's story is one of incredible courage and determination in the face of unimaginable adversity. Addison's journey through cancer was harrowing, filled with countless obstacles and setbacks. It began on an ordinary summer day when she discovered a painless lump in her right breast. What initially seemed like a benign discovery soon led to a devastating diagnosis of Angiosarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer.

Despite the enormity of the challenge ahead, Addison never wavered in her determination to fight back against the disease.  Through it all, Addison remained remarkably strong, her optimism and resilience serving as a source of inspiration to all those around her.

Despite the devastating diagnosis, Addison never lost her positive energy, great sense of humour, and a huge heart. Even as her illness progressed, she never gave up on life or on fighting to beat this disease.  Her family and friends would come to call her inspiring personality “Addy-tude”!

Tragically, on July 10th, 2022, just two days after her 14th birthday, Addison's journey came to a heartbreaking end. The loss of Addison has left a profound impact on her family and community, which cannot be easily expressed in words. Their grief and pain are unimaginable, yet they have channelled that pain into something powerful and positive: a commitment to continue Addison's fight against Sarcoma cancer.

Every donation made in Addison's name is not just a contribution but a tribute to her incredible spirit and a commitment to a future where no family has to endure the same heartbreak that hers did. Every dollar raised brings them one step closer to that goal, and they are grateful for every contribution, big and small. Their commitment to Addison's legacy is unshakeable, and they are determined to keep her memory alive and to inspire others to join in the fight against this terrible disease.
