A beautiful and inspiring legacy 🩷

AN EXTRAORDINARY STORY WITH A POWERFUL GRIFFITH CONNECTION

Since Tuesday evening, many of you, like us, have seen and loved the post from beautiful Griffith resident Merveen Sjollema

It was so eye grabbing and moving with an absolutely beautiful little girl and The Kids’ Cancer Project logo, that we asked Merveen if we could share it, to which Merveen immediately said yes.

She also suggested we look up Col Reynolds, who she mentions in the post, so we did.

We visited The Kids' Cancer ProjectThe Kids’ Cancer Project website and immediately discovered an episode of Australian Story from 2014, which highlights the motivation, dedication, and determination of Col, and what the vision of one man has achieved.

We also discovered a very powerful and enduring connection with one Griffith family, which is better to see and admire for yourself, rather than us try and tell you.

Merveen said that Col is an incredible man, but we were left gobsmacked and somewhat tearful for the connections and difference he has made.

The link to view the story is Who we are https://www.thekidscancerproject.org.au/about-us/who-we-are

You will need tissues and about 30 minutes, but it is an incredible use of that time and maybe the most moving story you have heard in some time.

We would like to thank Merveen, Col and The Kids’ Cancer Project for this absolutely wonderful insight.

“GO AWAY FOR A HOLIDAY AND MAKE THE MOST OF THE TIME YOU HAVE LEFT”

Those were the words spoken to Grant, as his wife Denise was recovering from stomach cancer surgery in 1996.

At this point, the prognosis was poor and even worse than expected.

Whilst there was immense hoping and praying, there wasn’t a great deal of hope, with Denise given a 10% chance of surviving 5 years.

Thirty years on and that would have been one heck of a holiday, as the days, weeks, months and years continue to grow.

Whilst the statistics suggested the wedding anniversaries were expected to have ended decades ago, today the couple mark 41 years of marriage.

It won’t be anything fancy or extravagant, rather a day of appreciation and gratitude for their good fortune, what has unfolded since, and the support they have received along that remarkable journey.

On days like this, the words Denise said to the surgeon all those years ago, seem to come to the fore. “Why can’t I be one of that 10%”

Denise “I chose not to let doubt and fear, stifle me or my longevity. I am grateful to have had the support around me that made that possible. I am very fortunate to have lived the life I have”
