Jeremy was diagnosed with Lymphoma. When he was told he may have only weeks to live, his care team referred him to Dreams2Live4

When you give a gift to Dreams2Live4 you are giving far beyond one dream – you are helping to create memories that family and friends of adults with terminal cancer, can hold onto forever.

What is Lymphoma Cancer:

Lymphomas refers to types of cancer that begin in the lymphatic system (the various lymph glands around the body) when abnormal white blood cells grow. Lymphomas are the sixth most common form of cancer overall (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer).

The incidence of lymphomas in Australia has risen over the past 20 years and is continuing to rise.

JEREMY & JESSICA'S STORY – by Jessica, Jeremy's wife

Jeremy and I met nearly 14 years ago, we have always been inseparable.

Just before Mother’s Day 2024 Jeremy was diagnosed with cancer. From the moment we heard that word… ‘cancer,’ everything changed.

The fear, the uncertainty, the endless hospital visits, and the fight we never expected to face. But through it all, we’ve held onto hope, strength, and each other.

JEREMY'S DREAM

We are huge fans of SeaWorld – Madison our daughter loves to go and every visit we sit up close near the dolphin show – her dream was to pat a dolphin. Jeremy reassured her that One day, when you’re older, you’ll get to meet the dolphins.

But with everything going on, he didn’t want to wait for “one day” – he wanted to keep that promise now, just in case time isn’t on our side.

Dreams2Live4 and their donors gave us this amazing experience – making Jeremy’s dream come true and creating lifelong memories for us all to treasure.

Memories are so important because when a loved one is going to pass soon, memories will be all we have left.

Dreams2Live4 has given us memories that will live on always in mine and Madison’s heart.

We’re beyond grateful.
