KIDDING AROUND AUSTRALIA’S RANDOM ACTS OF KID-NESS

What happens when a local Dad is diagnosed with terminal cancer? The community rallies around and puts on a day to remember!

Justin was diagnosed with melanoma cancer 10 years ago. He has 3 children – Alyssa 15, Nicholas 11 and Sam 6 with his wife Kelly. During this time he continued to work and strive in his career. He tolerated all of the treatments with the strongest attitude. His mantra was “I will not let cancer define me”.

Justin – doing something that he loves!

According to Justin’s mother-in-law, “Justin would always be the first person to raise his hand in support for others in need and has been a long time volunteer to many charities playing with his band ‘Steel Crazy’ or as a duo assisting to raise funds or awareness in a variety of area’s and now he and his family are the ones in desperate need.”

After numerous treatments, Justin was finally thought to be in remission until he found out the cancer had spread to his brain and it was terminal. He and his wife Kelly, who is his rock, sat the three kids down and told them the truth. They have limited time with their Dad so they need to make the most of their time together. They then decided to do a bucket list.

Items on the bucket list included:

  • Go on a road trip around Australia
  • See Ayers rock
  • Swim with the dolphins
  • Go snorkelling on the great barrier reef
  • Take dad to all the theme parks in Queensland
  • Visit Mackay, Cairns and the Whitsundays
  • See all the beautiful scenery Australia has to offer  & to make some beautiful new memories with the kids to last them a lifetime

Kelly put some of the things off the bucket list on Facebook and so began ‘JUSTIN’S DAY’.

Justin’s Day is a chance for the community to come together to assist and show support for a well known and loved family in Seymour, Victoria. The day is being split in two parts –  a Tea Party and a Sunday Funday that will be hosted at The Royal Hotel, Seymour!
