Dreams2Live4 helps make dreams come true for adults living with metastatic cancer
Our Dreamers range from 17 to 97 years old, from all walks of life, with all types of cancer, and they all have their own unique dreams.
We have had weddings, hot air ballooning, adventures to the mountains and coast. Some Dreamers ask to record a song, fix up a car, learn something new or meet their idol. Other Dreamers long to create lasting happy memories for those they leave behind in the form of family photographs, getaways and family reunions. Or it could be as simple as having their hair done so the nurses see them at their best.
Here are just some of the amazing dreams we have had the privilege to work on.
We work with our Dreamers to either partially or fully fund their dream, depending on the type of dream requested.
