Natalie first contacted Dreams2Live4 back in 2022 saying then that “to dream is like a double-edged sword. On one side I am so fortunate to have the opportunity to be able to access the amazing work that you do at Dreams, but on the other hand, gosh I really wish I wasn’t in the position to need it”.

The dream didn’t go ahead back in 2022. Instead, she stayed in touch as an advocate, event attendee, friend, and fundraiser – taking part alongside her husband Matthew, and brother Chris in the City2Surf in 2023; Matthew then took part in a Marathon, and her brother – Chris Williams is kindly taking part in the IRONMAN event in 2025, all in our name.

Natalie eventually headed off on her dream to the Whitsunday’s with husband Matt and her nine-year-old son where the ‘weather was perfect, and they had a good mixture of adventure and relaxation’’.
