Gavin and his family flew north to Noosa for his dream. We asked Gavin to share his story and what it meant to him and his family. Thank you Gavin, we are so pleased you had a wonderful time.

‘’Having metastatic cancer has dramatically affected my physical and mental health, which I know has been extremely difficult for my family. At times, I have been so unwell that I have been unable to work and earn income – which has added to the pressure. However, beauty also comes from facing death because I have discovered more profound love for others and for simple life itself’’ explained Gavin

I contacted the fabulous Ashleigh from D2L4 and was supported to make my dream come true: to go somewhere warm and forget about things for a while. We decided that a trip to Noosa with my wife and son would be the break from cold Melbourne we needed. Ashleigh was accommodating and made the process as easy as possible.

Our trip to the sunny shores of Noosa is a memory we all cherish. We swam and surfed together, and we ate out every night. And we laughed and just enjoyed a perfect family holiday. I know it is a special memory that my son will keep beyond me – which makes the whole experience even more precious.

 Deepest thanks to Ashleigh and Dreams2Live4.
