A little about Dani:
Currently Danielle is in Melbourne undergoing radiation treatment after having more surgery in Sydney to remove all visible tumours. This was an operation the doctors were not prepared to undertake a few months ago however the treatment in Germany has reduced the size of the tumours and surgery was agreed as the best option. Half of Dani's lung has been removed along with the large tumour in her pelvis. There is still a long road ahead for Dani and the family are looking into follow up treatment in China.

Thank you for your support it is very much appreciated.

ENTRY IS BY A DONATION AT THE GATE.

Looking forwards to a truly great evening for Dani.
