Brave Billi-Jo Murray has been fighting for her life since she was just 10 months old.
Her body has been riddled with cancer and her world has evolved around ongoing, sometimes agonising and debilitating, treatments, ever since.
Thankfully in the past few months the adorable seven-year-old has gone into remission and has been well enough to return to Beechwood Public School and play, giggle and learn with her friends.
But it may not be for long, says her loving mother Terri Townsend.
There’s only a 5 per cent chance Billi will stay well and, if she gets sick again, “it’s worst case scenario for a cancer patient”.
But for now, it’s time for Billi to live life to its fullest.
It’s her dream to see the Outback Spectacular show, swim with dolphins and visit every fun theme park she can, whilst she’s feeling well enough.
And we need your help to make her dreams come true.
