FAMILY STORY

Eliza (age 5) spent the last eight months in Westmead with her mum Lisa while undergoing intensive
treatment for Acute Lymphocytic Leukaemia.

Eliza and her mum are now back home with their family, (dad/husband) Nathan and sister Evelyn (age 7).
Thanks to Central West Tractor Treck Eliza has a new bedroom suite, we are beyond grateful for their
generosity.

Eliza will continues to undergo chemotherapy for the next fifteen months. In this time Eliza will have to
go back to Westmead every three months for checkups. Thanks to Little Wings we won’t have to worry
about driving to Sydney and home in the same day. This will reduce some of our stress, we can just focus
on Eliza’s medical appointments. We are so thankful to have this service available for families in the
central west like ours.

Lisa and Eliza will be there on Saturday for the Tractorthon Fundraiser event
