A Burton family is receiving an outpouring of support as their daughter battles a high-risk Stage 3 Wilms Tumour.
Meet Marley Faulkner, a brave 3-year-old who is currently fighting one of the toughest battles any child should ever face. The daughter of Ashley and India, Marley has been diagnosed with a high-risk Stage 3 Wilms Tumour, a rare form of kidney cancer.
Surrounded by the unwavering love and strength of her family and friends, Marley has become an inspiration to everyone who knows her story.
In response to Marley’s diagnosis, family and friends have launched “Miles for Marley.”
The money raised will help explore alternative treatments for Marley overseas and provide essential support for the family’s day-to-day need.
The Miles for Marley campaign includes a lineup of fundraising events, with supporters literally going the extra mile:
